Foxtrot About Us

We don’t just implement AI. We make it operational.

Foxtrot is built by the people behind the platforms powering modern enterprise AI, turning advanced models into systems that work inside real business operations.

We are Palantir Foundry and AIP implementation experts operating at the leading edge of enterprise AI, turning advanced capabilities into systems your organization actually uses, trusts, and scales.


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 100 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.

Headquartered in Washington, D.C., Foxtrot has quickly grown from a staff of two to more than 68 employees around the world.

Built for what comes next

Built for What Comes Next

AI is moving faster than expected, and the questions that matter have changed. Most organizations are still finding their footing, but Foxtrot already answers the new ones in every engagement.

Then
Now
Can the model think?
Can it hold context inside our operations?
Can we run an experiment?
Can we execute against a real P&L problem?
Can we prove one use case?
Can we govern deployment across the enterprise?

The question is no longer whether models are powerful enough. It’s whether AI can operate inside the real logic of the business, across its workflows, systems, permissions, and controls. That is what our forward deployed engineers are built for. They ground AI in a real semantic layer over your data, then govern and secure it to run the decisions the business depends on, across the enterprise.

Designed to operate and scale from Day 1.


Foxtrot authority and experience
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 Builds

Who we are defines what we accomplish.

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 directly into real workflows

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. Their team proved they had the intellect and experience to translate our business’s challenges into a user friendly tool. We look forward to future engagements with Foxtrot!

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.

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.

What I appreciate most about Foxtrot is the discipline this team brings to complex technical work. The goal isn’t to make the technology feel impressive; it’s to make it useful, reliable, and trusted by the people who depend on it. That is where this team is exceptionally strong.

Maria Franco | Forward Deployed Engineer & Solution Architect

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

Ngan Tran | Palantir Foundry Implementation Engineer

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.

Ngan Tran | Palantir Foundry Implementation Engineer

John Schultz | Forward Deployed Engineer

When we first partnered with one particular client, their team was just beginning to explore Palantir Foundry, familiar only with basic training materials. Rather than simply building solutions on their behalf, we took a collaborative approach. This reflects how we work not just delivering technical solutions but building capability and confidence with our clients. We go beyond implementation; we invest in people, empower teams, and help organizations take ownership of their data journey.

John Schultz | Forward Deployed Engineer

Johan Gauffin | Forward Deployed Engineer & Solution Architect

I love working at Foxtrot because the culture empowers me to tackle complex supply‑chain data challenges head‑on—turning gnarly data transformations into actionable insights for healthcare clients almost daily. 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

Jade Liu | Forward Deployed Engineer

I love working at Foxtrot because I’m constantly encouraged to explore, experiment, and grow within my day-to-day project work and beyond, including opportunities to work directly with Palantir in Buildcamps or building demos for potential customers. I appreciate the trust and freedom to build cool solutions that deliver value while leveling up my skills along the way.

Jade Liu | Forward Deployed Engineer

Pete Vigneux | Forward Deployed Engineer & Portfolio Lead

This is the dream team. A group of highly intelligent individuals who are laser focused on problem solving and outcomes. More than that, what contributes to a high performing team is genuine care for each other. That's driven from the top down at Foxtrot. While we live on the cutting edge of technology every day, we are a people first organization. We care deeply about our employees, and we care deeply about our partners. It's that approach that makes it so energizing to work here.

Pete Vigneux | Forward Deployed Engineer & Portfolio Lead

Ismail Khan | Forward Deployed Engineer & People Lead

Being at Foxtrot means working alongside high-performing people who are accomplishing big wins while consistently building each other up. Early in my tenure, I was given the trust and freedom to make a real impact for our clients, and I had opportunities to contribute in meaningful ways from day one. Our leadership has shown that operational excellence and a people-first culture are not trade-offs in the tech industry. They truly go hand in hand. That balance has allowed me to grow quickly, take ownership with confidence, and feel proud to be part of this journey.
