Clarity Innovations has named Brian Hobbs CEO, effective March 2.
Wes Daniels, the company’s founder and longtime CEO, will move into the role of president of strategic initiatives. He will continue to help shape company strategy and support key customer and partner relationships.
Clarity has more than tripled in size in recent years, expanding into new customer segments and building and acquiring mission-critical technologies. The company said the growth reflects customer demand and trust as Clarity supports an expanding range of high-stakes missions.
“Brian is a proven operator with deep mission understanding and a strong track record of
scaling organizations in complex environments,” Daniels said. “As Clarity enters its next phase of growth, Brian’s leadership positions the company to scale while staying true to our mission, culture, and standards.”
Hobbs brings over two decades of experience across the defense and intelligence community. Most recently, he led Accenture’s national security portfolio, formerly Novetta, overseeing growth, operations and mission delivery across national security programs.
“I have seen firsthand how Brian leads through growth, complexity, and change,” said Tiffanny Gates, Clarity board chair. “He brings sound judgement, deep respect for mission, and people-first leadership style that aligns with Clarity’s work and culture. This transition reflects a deliberate evolution of the leadership team- pairing Brian’s operational and growth experience with Wes’s continued leadership, vision, and deep connection to the mission. Together, they position Clarity to scale with purpose while staying true to the values and technical excellence that define the company. The Board is confident Brian is the right leader for this moment in the company’s evolution.”
Hobbs said Clarity’s success comes from the quality and dedication of its workforce, pointing to engineers, operators, analysts and leaders who support national security missions every day.
“As we grow, my focus is on building on that foundation, aligning strategy and talent to sharpen execution while making sure we stay true to what sets Clarity apart: a team that wins trust by delivering mission outcomes with precision and purpose,” he added.
The company said the leadership transition reflects a focus on disciplined execution, investment in its workforce and maintaining high standards as it continues to scale.
