Retired Navy Captain Mark Harris Joins Exiger as Strategic Advisor

Harris brings a background that includes leadership roles at Palantir Technologies and the management of a veteran-owned advisory practice focused on maritime readiness. His new role at Exiger centers on mapping bottlenecks within the defense industrial base to bolster shipbuilding and naval operation modernization. CEO Brandon Daniels noted that Harris’s expertise is critical to identifying the strategic dependencies necessary for restoring maritime dominance.

During his military career, Harris earned the Defense Superior Service Medal, the Legion of Merit, and the Bronze Star. He joins Exiger as the company scales its footprint within the U.S. government, emphasizing that rapid technology adoption is the primary factor distinguishing leading forces from those that lag behind. The firm currently supports over 60 government and defense organizations with its FedRAMP-authorized AI platform.
