Palantir expertise. Enterprise perspective.
Foxtrot brings together former Palantir builders, enterprise operators, and transformation leaders with deep Foundry and AIP expertise and firsthand experience putting technology to work inside complex commercial and government organizations.
As a Palantir partner with deep expertise in Foundry and AIP implmentations, we turn that perspective into AI systems your organizations can use, trust, and scale.
Hailing from Palantir’s elite ranks with a nuanced understanding of Foundry and AIP, we have assembled a team of the top engineers, solution architects, and AI strategists.
As a team with more than 150 years of Foundry experience, Foxtrot brings unrivaled expertise in AI, data engineering, and strategic transformation. Crafting AI-driven solutions that outperform, outthink, and outscale the competition is what we do best. We don’t just implement AI—we engineer the future. Our team delivers AI solutions that redefine industries, setting the gold standard for enterprise intelligence.
There’s a reason why companies have selected Foxtrot as a preferred implementation partner.

Built for What Comes Next
AI is moving fast. Organizations now have more models, more agents, more deployment choices, and a growing need to keep context, cost, and control in their own hands. Foxtrot designs for that environment, from the semantic layer that gives AI a shared understanding of the business to the architecture that preserves flexibility and AI sovereignty as technology changes.
Can the model perform?
→
Can it reason and act with the right business context?
Can we prove one use case?
→
Can we scale agents and workflows with control?
Can we deploy it?
→
Can we stay change models, providers, and infrastructure without starting over?
Foxtrot FDEs connect AI to the data, context, business logic, permissions, tools, and workflows that shape real operations. They engineer the semantic and operational layers, evaluation, and human oversight around AI so commercial and government organizations can evolve models and infrastructure while maintaining traceability, control, and sovereignty.

The Foxtrot Difference
No other partner is built like this.
Foxtrot was shaped from every side of adoption, which is why 100% of the systems we’ve built have reached production
Designed to operate and scale from Day 1.
Why Foxtrot
We’ve been inside this shift from the beginning.
Before most organizations named AI a priority, we were already building
and operating the systems behind it.
- Designing AI and platform architectures.
- Deploying production workflows.
- Scaling across complex organizations.
We’ve seen where AI succeeds and where it breaks. Not because of the
models. Because systems weren’t designed to operate in reality.
Foxtrot was built to solve that problem before it became the problem
everyone else is now trying to solve.
What Foxtrot Delivers
Experience that changes the outcome.
Where most AI implementation efforts fail is where our expertise begins.
Taking clients from AI capability to business operation.
Foxtrot builds systems that:
Embed AI.
Into the workflows here work actually happens.
Build in control.
Through permissions, validation, security, and human oversight.
Drive action.
With the right context at the point of decision.
Scale what works.
Across teams, functions, and missions.
Client Testimonials
Where others experiment, our clients scale.
Oxbow engaged Foxtrot to assist in expanding our current capabilities within Palantir. Their team took on a challenging task of picking up someone else’s code and adding complex functionality. Throughout the engagement, Foxtrot was responsive and organized and provided routine updates demonstrating progress.

Crisis24 Strategic Projects
The Foxtrot engineering team helped us turn a complex workforce planning challenge into an intuitive, floor-ready application. Their engineers took time to understand the practical realities of our operators' workflows and translated those into technical solutions that just work. We were impressed with how seamlessly Foxtrot integrated with our internal teams, maintaining clear communication throughout and delivering under tight deadlines.

The people who are helping us from Foxtrot are basically one and the same as our developers. They care just as much, if not more, than some of the Surgence people. I love everything that they bring to the table because they are really, really, really good.
Paulina Ritter, Product Delivery Owner
Surgence
I enjoy your professionalism and can-do attitudes, and I'm regularly blown away at how you all have taken our 'Uh, we think we sorta need a thing to do this thing' and turn it into something that, at its final iteration, could help change the organization

Out of the 4 consultants we have, Foxtrot has been the most knowledgeable and have made me confident in our ability to do this.
Supply Chain Executive | Fortune 500 Automotive Supplier
This is a million times better than what we had built for us before, if that's even possible.
Director of Analytics | Major Financial Institution
Foxtrot was a great partner because they have the Foundry experience, but they also understood our vision of building out this entire ecosystem on top of the Foundry tech stack. Foxtrot has certainly, from day one, wanted to understand what we're trying to do. They are as motivated by our mission as we are.

What I value most is creating systems that become part of how people work, something they trust and rely on every day. When something we've built becomes a trusted tool that people depend on, that's when you know you've made a real difference. It's also a reflection of the culture I care deeply about: staying close to our customers, solving meaningful problems, and focusing on outcomes that create lasting impact.

Why People Like Working Here
Hear directly from the people helping build the systems, culture, and client relationships that define Foxtrot.
Foxtrot is the ideal place to work because it offers the perfect balance between engaging clients and projects where I can use my previous experience, with a sustainable and healthy work environment. After leaving a career with Palantir for 8.5 years to take time off and become a mother, I thought I would struggle to find the perfect fit for me to come back to work as an engineer. Foxtrot, being a women-led business, has proven to be an excellent place for me to grow and challenge myself, while having the flexibility I need at this point in my career.
Maria Franco | Forward Deployed Engineer & Solution Architect
Foxtrot encourages me to embrace challenges as stepping stones for growth, fostering a supportive atmosphere where I can confidently expand my responsibilities. With my team's unwavering reassurance, I feel empowered to take on new opportunities. Foxtrot also prioritizes personal well-being, actively working to create an environment where work-life balance is not just a goal, but a reality.

The trust and autonomy Foxtrot gives me mean I’m on the front line with customers, watching their “aha” moments as our Foundry solutions shave days off lead‑time analyses and unlock smarter inventory decisions. Those real‑world wins, backed by a supportive, brainy team, make every project genuinely exciting.
Johan Gauffin | Forward Deployed Engineer & Solution Architect

It's that approach that makes it so energizing to work here.
Pete Vigneux | Forward Deployed Engineer & Portfolio Lead

That balance has allowed me to grow quickly, take ownership with confidence, and feel proud to be part of this journey.
