Head of Global Partnerships, Palantir Technologies

Matthew Tracey has spent the last 10 years at Palantir Technologies, the world’s largest artificial intelligence software company. As one of the first non-technical hires outside the United States, he has led Palantir’s commercial, legal and strategic matters concerning the Australian, NZ, Canadian and other Western nations’ most critical institutions in the defence and intelligence communities.

He is also a special advisor to the Quad Investors Network and a delegate to the Australian-American Leadership Dialogue.
