Over a 28-year career with the CIA, culminating in his position as CTO, Hunt led the effort to modernize IT infrastructures and streamline data operations to enable critical intelligence missions and analysis. He was the conceptual and motivating force behind the Agency’s adoption of commercial cloud services, C2S, and its early application of AI and ML to address difficult intelligence challenges. Hunt helped establish the Intelligence Community’s multi-cloud and hybrid data center architecture and create a decision strategy for the migration of new and legacy IT operations to the cloud.

Hunt will advise Domino’s product design and go-to-market teams on orchestrating AI and ML initiatives in classified and non-classified environments. He will also assist Domino in navigating the intricate organizational structures of federal agencies as it works to unleash data science within individual agencies, each with its own CISO and the autonomy to build a distinct digital infrastructure.

“We need powerful data science and analytics to continuously identify the next acute threat facing our country,” said Gus Hunt. “If I can help the national security community do that job in part by making the right introductions and brokering conversations between the government’s technologists and Domino, I’m confident that I’m helping our federal agencies stay current on vital technologies.”

We are thrilled to have his expertise as we invest to enable more agencies to unleash the power of AI.”

Apart from his 28-year government tenure, Hunt is the CEO and founder of Hunt Technologies LLC, which provides private consulting services specializing in strategic IT planning, cyber and data-centric security, big data analytics, and cloud computing.
