The defense technology startup is looking to take its flagship software offering into markets outside of the U.S.

Defense technology startup Anduril Industries has hired former Pentagon and State Department official Greg Kausner to lead the company’s growth efforts outside of the U.S.

The idea is to bring Anduril’s flagship software offering to a wider range of potential customers and complement the footing already achieved in the U.S., Anduril said Monday.

Kausner’s career at the Defense Department saw him perform the duties of the under and deputy secretary for acquisition and sustainment, executive director for international cooperation and deputy director of the Defense Security Cooperation Agency.

His time at the State Department included service as a senior adviser to the undersecretary for arms control and international security, as well as deputy assistant secretary for political military affairs.

In addition to that, he was a senior professional staff member for the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
