Go Ryan Benitez!
I'm honored to start my new role as Chief Commercial Officer at NATO's Defence Innovation Accelerator for the North Atlantic (DIANA). NATO DIANA accelerates dual-use technologies -- from early-stage innovation to operational capability -- helping them succeed in the commercial market and reach the hands of Allied warfighters faster than ever before. At a time when global security is shaped by technological advantage, this mission is both urgent and essential. I look forward to working alongside the DIANA team and across NATO's member nations, aligning the priorities of defence stakeholders, industry, innovators, and the private capital community to drive growth and adoption of emerging and disruptive tech. Building on my time in venture capital at Decisive Point and in military operations -- I remain focused on what matters most: real capability, delivered at speed and scale. 🔗 Join this mission.
