Retired Maj. Gen. Martin F. Klein has joined C3 AI’s executive team to oversee defense and intelligence operations.
“I look forward to building on the work of the trusted professionals from C3 AI who are bringing enterprise AI to solve some of our nation’s hardest problems,” Klein said.
Klein most recently served as the chief operating officer of the Defense Department’s Joint Artificial Intelligence Center.
“Our defense and intelligence communities are on the precipice of fully embracing all the potential that commercial software and data provide to overmatch near-peer adversaries and assuring information dominance,” he said. “I can’t think of a better software platform, or company, to accelerate our nation’s security transformation into the digital era.”
Klein’s military career includes serving as commanding general of the 75th Innovation Command; as director of Army G-3/5/7 Strategic Operations; and as commanding general of Deployment Support Command in Birmingham, Alabama.
“I am pleased to announce General Klein’s appointment to lead C3 AI’s defense and intelligence operations,” said C3 AI Chairman and CEO Thomas Siebel. “General Klein is exceptionally well suited to lead our growing defense business and help our defense and intelligence agencies transform. With his strong executive abilities, private sector experience and extensive government service, General Klein will be an indispensable member of C3 AI’s leadership team allowing us to better serve the U.S. defense and intelligence communities.”
