Mission-Ready Financial Management: How Agentic AI Aligns People, Policy, and Technology for Measurable Defense Outcomes
2:00 PM - 3:15 PM Wed
As President and CTO of CORAS.ai, Dan Naselius leads the vision and engineering behind the only IL5 Agentic AI Decision Intelligence Platform for the Department of War (DoW). A former U.S. Air Force software and network engineer, Dan has spent more than three decades designing enterprise systems that balance agility with security. His work at CORAS combines FedRAMP High and IL5-grade security with advanced AI engineering—bridging the gap between data, decisions, and mission readiness. Dan has an outstanding track record of leading agile teams, working in top-security environments, supporting defense systems business agendas, and understanding the complex and unique needs of the DoW. He is a proven leader, scaling solutions, driving efficient, agile customer-centric solutions, big-picture agendas, and customer experience.
CORAS’ Agentic Agent GARY, developed under Dan’s leadership, represents the evolution of artificial intelligence—from passive language processing to agentic orchestration. Rather than generating text, GARY thinks, reasons, and acts, coordinating specialized AI agents that perform real work: modeling tradeoffs, automating compliance, generating CDRLs, and producing validated mission outputs in minutes. This shift from “assistive AI” to operational AI has delivered measurable results for the DoW, including 10–50× productivity gains and 95% faster analysis cycles.
Dan is a graduate of the University of Dayton, with a BSE in Electrical and Electronics Engineering, and Carnegie Mellon University Software Engineering Institute. He continues to advance CORAS’s mission: enabling the DoW to make faster, better, and more secure decisions—powered by CORAS and GARY’s agentic AI.
