He brings over 30 years of logistics, supply chain, and operations management experience across diverse Navy programs to the development and delivery of Exiger's AI across military and defense industrial base customers.

"The U.S. and its allies cannot restore maritime dominance without rebuilding the industrial ecosystems that power it," said Exiger CEO Brandon Daniels.

His expertise will inform the next generation AI capabilities that Exiger is delivering to power the modernization of shipbuilding and naval operations."

The decorated, retired U.S. Navy Captain joins as Exiger expands its footprint across the U.S. Government and DIB to accelerate defense readiness with cutting-edge technology.

"What drew me to Exiger is its driven, inclusive culture and its commitment to delivering the best technology to the Department of War," said Captain Harris. "Exiger's AI platform is flexible, scalable, and built to support everything from small mission teams to enterprise operations. When speed of technology adoption is increasingly the difference between leading and lagging, Exiger helps customers move faster."

Captain Harris was meritoriously awarded the Defense Superior Service Medal, the Legion of Merit, and the Bronze Star for his Naval service, which spans many sea and shore duty assignments, including deployments to the Western Pacific and Operation IRAQI FREEDOM.

Since retiring from active duty, Captain Harris has worked at Palantir Technologies and built out his veteran-owned advisory practice to help federal agencies and contractors resolve maritime readiness challenges.
