Before co-founding Fourth Age, I spent 13 years at Palantir Technologies helping customers around the world solve their most complex and high-impact problems. I was the first Palantir employee on the ground in APAC, launching the initial customers in Australia and New Zealand. I led both implementation and product development teams across a broad range of government and commercial domains, partnering with organisations tackling everything from critical infrastructure to national security.At Fourth Age, we’re continuing to partner with organisations that have wide ranging impact globally, and it is a meaningful challenge to work with them to solve their impactful problems.
Prior to founding Fourth Age, I spent 8 years at Palantir Technologies based out of the Australian commercial headquarters in Sydney. I worked across an interesting mixture of verticals while helping to grow the Australian commercial business including Cyber Security, Aviation, Consumer Finance, Mining and Manufacturing. For a number of years I've been an evangelist for the use of ontologies in data analytics, helping companies organize and operationalize their internal data through the use of Palantir's Foundry platform and ontological thinking. This is something I've continued to prioritize, and at Fourth Age we make sure to build sensible, scalable ontologies for our partners, simplifying the connection between their operations and their information landscape. At Fourth Age, I lead our APAC business and my goal is to ensure every customer we partner with receives the same extremely high bar of solution delivery they've come to expect from our team and from Palantir's software platforms more broadly.
Before Fourth Age, I led implementation teams of Forward Deployed Engineers (FDEs) to achieve incredible outcomes for enterprise customers. I did this for 9 years at Palantir Technologies, in North America and across Asia Pacific, primarily in Singapore, South Korea and Japan. These wide ranging use cases included helping global law firms harness Generative AI, creating cyber security solutions to financial institutions and nation states, and deploying data applications for airline operators to increase safety and resilience of their fleets.I enjoy breaking down complex business problems and building data-driven—and increasingly AI-enabled—solutions. I love working with brilliant, curious, and motivated people because I believe these exceptional individuals can accomplish incredible things, which is why I joined Fourth Age.
I founded Fourth Age after over 11 years at Palantir Technologies, where I joined to start the Philanthropy Engineering team and led a variety of business development teams over the years. In my time at Palantir I worked around the world building products and delivering high-value outcomes for customers in areas including humanitarian aid delivery, European border security, and corporate risk & response. Before Palantir, I worked with a research group at Princeton University’s School of Public & International Affairs, using data to better understand drivers of political violence and improve development opportunities around the world. I’ve always loved working with top caliber people, finding hard problems, and being challenged to continually learn and grow, and am motivated to provide these same opportunities to the next generation of Forward Deployed Engineers.
