WILMINGTON, Del.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#defensetech–Second Front Systems (2F), a public-benefit software company powering software for the free world, today announced two updates to its Board of Directors: Nand Mulchandani, former Chief Technology Officer of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), has joined as a Director, and CEO Tyler Sweatt has been appointed Chairman of the Board.
Mulchandani brings over 25 years of experience bridging Silicon Valley innovation and national security. He co-founded and scaled startups to successful exits that helped shape modern enterprise technology, with acquisitions by Cisco, Citrix, VMware, and Oracle. He also spearheaded mission-critical technology innovation and accelerated national security as CTO at both the Department of Defense’s Joint Artificial Intelligence Center (JAIC) and the CIA.
“In today’s evolving threat environment, safeguarding free-world interests means fusing rapid commercial innovation with deep mission alignment,” said Mulchandani. “Like Tyler and so many others at 2F who carry forward their service in new ways, I see this company as the connective tissue between the tech sector and the missions that defend our values. I’m honored to join them in building the secure, tech backbone our government demands.”
“This is a pivotal moment for 2F,” Sweatt added. “I’ve long admired Nand’s leadership, and his expertise across both technology and national security strengthens our ability to expand the platform, deepen partnerships, and deliver the infrastructure that powers our nation’s most critical missions.”
Sweatt succeeds co-founder Peter Dixon who, as co-founder and Chairman, was instrumental in shaping the company’s vision and positioning it as a trusted partner at the intersection of commercial innovation and national security.
“Peter’s steady leadership built the foundation that has allowed 2F to become the company we are today, and I’m grateful for his continued support as we enter this next chapter,” said Sweatt.
Under Sweatt’s leadership, 2F has advanced capabilities to the warfighter at the edge and in the most sensitive mission environments, expanded its platform to serve the full breadth of the federal government, forged strategic partnerships across the defense-tech ecosystem, and accelerated international growth to strengthen U.S. allies.
With these appointments, Second Front expands its leadership to shape the future of defense technology for the United States and its allies. This follows Second Front’s recent FedRAMP® High authorization and partnership with Leidos, underscoring the company’s momentum in delivering secure, mission-ready software across the federal government.
