Defense Innovation Advisory Board

The Defense Innovation Board is an organization set up in 2016 to bring the technological innovation and best practice of Silicon Valley to the U.S. Military. The board will have up to a dozen members drawn from who Eric Schmidt, the chair, will select in consultation with the US Secretary of Defense.

Ash Carter, US Secretary of Defense, announced that the board, modeled on the Defense Business Board would facilitate the Pentagon becoming more innovative and adaptive.

Joshua Marcuse is the inaugural and current Executive Director of the Defense Innovation Board.
