Adarga is a British AI software company helping National Security organisations to rapidly identify threat and opportunity signals buried within huge volumes of in-house and open-source information - such as news, PDFs, presentations, reports, videos etc. Sir Donald’s appointment follows a period of commercial growth for Adarga with deployment of its AI-driven software platform to organisations across the UK Ministry of Defence and the wider Defence and National Security market. Adarga’s software platform is helping organisations to quickly and effectively understand the broad array, and overwhelming amount of information at their disposal so they can answer difficult questions at speed, mitigate risk and maintain a competitive edge.

Adarga CEO and Founder Rob Bassett Cross said:

“We are extremely pleased to welcome Sir Donald as Chair. As a highly accomplished business leader with a distinguished career, his breadth of knowledge and experience will provide powerful support to help drive the continued development of our business and AI platform at this pivotal time. His leadership will be invaluable at this exciting period of rapid growth as we deepen our vital position in Defence and National Security, accelerate growth in the enterprise market and extend our global operating footprint.”

Sir Donald Brydon CBE, Adarga’s new Chairman said:

“As we navigate one of the most complex geopolitical situations of our time, Adarga’s mission could not be more meaningful. The necessity to be able to understand and act on information at the speed required in today’s increasingly complex commercial and operating environments is critical to remaining competitive. Adarga is executing against this tremendous challenge with cutting-edge AI software capability that genuinely sets it apart from other players in the industry. I’m proud to be supporting the company at this pivotal time for Defence and National Security, and as it expands into further markets.”

Sir Donald Brydon succeeds Rupert Fane who has been instrumental in leading the board to date and will remain in a non-executive position.
