Posted by Keturah Hetrick on Dec. 5, 2022 A former defense lobbyist has traded the House Armed Services Committee for a buzzworthy defense-technology startup. Jeff Bozman is now a senior director at Anduril Industries. Anduril, which focuses on artificial intelligence and software development, raised close to $1.5 billion in its latest funding round - "one of the largest this year by a U.S. company," Crunchbase reported on Friday. The defense company disclosed spending $900,000 on its federal lobbying program in the last year. Bozman was most recently HASC counsel working on Department of Defense acquisition policy for committee Democrats. He previously worked at Covington & Burling, where his big-name lobbying clients included BAE Systems, Northrop Grumman and Elbit Systems of America.
