Sam Jones, a former civilian software engineer at the U.S. Air Force, has joined data analytics company Govini as chief product officer. He supported Department of Defense customers through his previous senior product and engineering roles at Palantir Technologies and Shield AI.

Govini analyzed the Department of Defense’s use of other transaction authorities and Small Business Innovation Research contracts between fiscal year 2015 and FY 2019 and found that the two contracting methods accounted for 10 percent, or $9.6B, of DoD’s spending on research, development, test and evaluation operations in 2019, Defense News reported Wednesday.

Tara Murphy Dougherty, former president of Govini's national security business, has succeeded Chris Taylor as CEO of the government market research company.

Govini has received a potential five-year, $400M indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract from the Department of Defense for data access and analysis support, Defense News reported Monday.
