Our Meet the Team series showcases the talented experts at Virtualitics who are dedicated to empowering organizations with AI-driven analytics and advanced applications.
“This is one of the few places where the technology actually meets the urgency of the mission,” says Dylan Evers, Virtualitics’ new Principal for the Public Sector business. Having spent over two decades “inside the machine,” Dylan speaks with the clarity of a leader who has seen how it gets built, sold, and sometimes misunderstood.
But the throughline for Dylan has always been the same: helping the Department solve real problems with real consequences. His unique ability to provide the “connective tissue” between what’s possible and what actually gets delivered to the warfighter is what makes him a vital member to the mission by creating alignment between capability and consequence.
A Career Dedicated to Defense and Data
Long before joining Virtualitics, Dylan built a strong reputation supporting mission-critical work, starting at a small, service-disabled veteran-owned business. His career has since spanned resellers, global OEMs, and some of the largest technology companies in the world.
“My focus has always been on solving problems that directly impact the mission,” he says. Dylan isn’t interested in “PowerPoint problems” or theoretical exercises, but in challenges that affect real-world outcomes.
That experience now enables him to translate technical capability into mission-ready solutions, ensuring that what gets built is not only possible, but operationally relevant and used where it matters most.
Challenging Inaction with Operational AI
While his formal title is Principal, Dylan often jokes on Slack that he is the “Chief Troublemaker.”
“Progress in this space requires disruption,” he explains. “Respectful, informed, but relentless disruption.” For Dylan, the role is a mandate to challenge inaction and help internal teams and government partners move faster and adopt advanced analytics to deliver a true strategic advantage. He isn’t here for incremental improvements to broken processes; he is here to rethink them entirely.
At the heart of his mission is ensuring that predictive AI and advanced analytics become fully operational. He works to ensure that what Virtualitics builds “doesn’t just exist, but gets used ”to change outcomes.” As he puts it, “If it doesn’t change outcomes, it doesn’t matter.”
Turning Alignment into Action
What brought Dylan to Virtualitics was the shared sense of urgency and a team of “builders and operators” who care about the mission in a “this has to work” kind of way.
He is particularly excited about pushing capabilities to the tactical edge, the point of action where decisions are made under pressure with incomplete information. According to Dylan, being adjacent to the fight is no longer acceptable.
“Our adversaries are not waiting,” Dylan warns. “They are investing, iterating, and deploying at speed.” By applying AI-ready data to real-world challenges across critical readiness domains and operational decision-making, he is helping Virtualitics lead a new wave of national security innovation, particularly as the Department looks to advance initiatives like Golden Dome, where speed, integration, and decision advantage are critical.
Dylan’s journey also mirrors the broader shift in the defense tech industry: a renewed focus on building things that matter for national security. He believes the future belongs to organizations that can turn data into action, and at Virtualitics, he is building exactly that.
