Craig Martell
Federal Leadership
Craig Martell is new to federal leadership, and he has a major task in front of him to unify the Department of Defense’s sprawling digital, data and artificial intelligence ecosystem under a single office — the Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Office. Martell brings with him experience as the head of machine learning for Silicon Valley carshare company Lyft, and he has quickly decided that in his new role he wants to be deliberate in confronting the Department of Defense’s complex software development and implementation challenges as quickly and thoroughly as possible, as so much of what his office was created to do is built on that foundation of software.
