About Andrew Potts
I bridge the gap between cutting-edge AI technology and the high-stakes requirements of the U.S. National Security community. With an MBA from UNC and 20 years of experience across Special Operations (JSOC/PSYOP) and Federal Consulting, I specialize in navigating complex procurement processes to deliver mission-critical capabilities.As a former PSYOP Commander, I have a deep, firsthand understanding of the disinformation and narrative threats that Accrete’s Argus platform is designed to defeat. I am a mission-oriented leader who speaks the language of both the operator and the executive, ensuring that AI-native insights are translated into actionable national security outcomes.MBA - University of North Carolina Kenan-Flagler Business SchoolMS - Naval Postgraduate SchoolBS - University of North Carolina
