ECS, a leader in advanced technology, science, and engineering solutions, announced that Martin Klein has been named vice president of Analytics and Artificial Intelligence (AI).

In his new role, Klein will oversee ECS’ key strategic digital transformation initiatives focused on the defense and intelligence market segments.

Klein has 20 years of experience working in data science, advanced analytics, AI and machine learning delivery, and profit and loss management.

He has commanded at every level in the U.S. Army.

“I look forward to building on the work of ECS’ professionals, who are solving tough problems by integrating data and delivering AI to the federal government,” said Klein. “Our defense and intelligence communities are beginning to fully embrace the enormous potential that operational data and AI provide in our integrated-deterrence strategy. ECS will continue to play a leading role in preserving information advantage and decision dominance. I can't think of a better company to accelerate our national security transformation toward the digital age.”
