After nearly a decade as a key member of Palantir’s engineering team, Brian Schimpf teamed up with Oculus Rift VR creator Palmer Luckey to disrupt the defense technology space by founding Anduril. Now as the firm’s CEO, Schimpf drives the strategy and product roadmap for the rapidly growing defense innovation contractor. And, in recent years under his leadership, Anduril has scored some massive wins in the defense space, most recently being awarded contracts to support the Army’s robotic combat vehicle software system integration and the Air Force’s collaborative combat aircraft (CCA) program.
