D. Brian Letort, Ph.D.
Enterprise AI Executive, Inventor, Distinguished Professor, and PhD Architect shaping how intelligent systems are built at scale.
I architect enterprise AI platforms, data fabrics, and the next generation of intelligent infrastructure. With 25+ years building at scale—from $13B defense proposals to global data center operations—I turn complex data and AI challenges into production systems that work.
Currently leading AI strategy and data governance at Digital Realty, driving private AI platforms, and filing patents on secure AI architectures. Former Chief Data Scientist and Chief Enterprise Architect at Northrop Grumman, where I aligned investments across a $1.5B IT portfolio.
Leading enterprise AI initiatives at Digital Realty—maturing data portfolios for AI readiness, building private AI platforms, and driving governance across global operations. My focus: turning complex data ecosystems into production-grade AI systems that actually ship.
Patented architectures for SOX Automation (2004), Massively Parallel System Architecture (2007), Enterprise Data Fabric (2015), and Private AI—turning ideas into defensible IP.
View patentsThe future operating system will evolve around AI. SaaS will become headless, with agentic systems and new interface paradigms replacing traditional GUIs. I'm building toward that future.
