Valliance strengthens team to match client demand and publishes first data-led review of Palantir’s global customer base.
Valliance, the independent enterprise AI consultancy, has added three senior Palantir specialists to its growing team, strengthening its ability to deploy and implement best-of-breed technologies and solutions for clients across the UK and Europe.
Chris Lormor, Value Partner (Technology): Chris was one of the first to join Palantir’s London office nearly 14 years ago, making him one of the most experienced local experts in Palantir’s technologies. Serving as a forward deployed engineer, he was responsible for driving success for clients, particularly those in Government and defence. Before joining Palantir, he was a Senior Software Engineer for GCHQ.
Danny Tigue, Value Partner (Consulting): Danny spent almost nine years at Palantir as a Deployment Strategist specialising in data intelligence and analysis. Prior to this, he held various positions within intelligence analysis, for the Metropolitan Police, Financial Conduct Authority and UBS.
Tito Kuol, Value Engineer: Tito has spent over three years in New York working as Forward Deployed Software Engineer at Palantir. He has a BA in Computer Science from Harvard University.
Valliance’s strategy is to deploy solutions and technologies that align best with each client’s existing architecture, to deliver AI value fast as enterprises grapple with increasingly complex AI needs. In a growing number of cases, Palantir is proven to be the best option to ensure success. The new hires mark growing demand for this approach.
Rad Parvin, Co-Founder and Senior Value Partner at Valliance, says:
“Enterprises are in a race to adopt and deploy AI, and Europe is currently losing. They need to get real value from AI as quickly as possible, and that means working with the best available solutions, regardless of where those solutions come from. Palantir's technology is, in the right context, unrivalled. The expertise Chris, Tito and Danny bring means we can implement it faster and more effectively for our clients. That directly translates to quicker time-to-value, which is what we're here to deliver.”
Palantir Pulse
Valliance has also published the Palantir Pulse, a first-of-its-kind quarterly review of Palantir’s global customer base. It covers 217 publicly referenced customers across every major industry and company size. Valliance is undertaking this to identify what drives progress, where deployments stall, and what separates the most advanced users from the rest.
Key findings for the inaugural edition include:
Most customers are still early-stage. 54.1% sit at single-use case maturity, and most have been with Palantir under four years. However, there are longer-tenured customers who are stuck at this stage, suggesting a lack of planning for how to expand beyond the initial project.
16% of customers have reached multi-domain maturity, deploying Palantir across multiple business functions, with Data Fabric and Enterprise AI the most commonly shared solutions at this level. BP and Airbus are among those demonstrating what scaled deployment actually looks like.
Scale doesn’t determine success. Revenue and maturity aren't clearly linked. Organisational readiness and strong leadership matter more than company size when it comes to cross-functional integration.
Parvin adds:
“The same questions come up repeatedly in our client conversations: who else is using Palantir, and what is actually working? Those questions deserve data-driven answers. The Palantir Pulse is our answer. We've looked hard at what works, what doesn't, and where businesses get stuck, so technology leaders can make better-informed decisions for their organisations.”
