Chris Lormor

Value Partner - Technology

One of Palantir's founding UK engineers, Chris spent 14 years as a Forward Deployed Engineer growing the UK public sector practice from a six-person team into one of the most significant technology partnerships with the British government. Before that, Chris spent five years as a Senior Software Engineer in the UK Government, specialising in high-speed signal analysis. Now at Valliance, he's applying that same conviction to help clients transform their business.

Chris joined Palantir before it had a real UK presence, and grew with the practice through deployments that transformed how the UK Government identifies and protects our biggest institutions from cyber attacks, how the NHS manages waiting lists, how the Royal Navy keeps ships operational, and how police forces tackle organised crime.

Chris also spearheaded Palantir’s work with Government and Defence agencies across multiple nations, ensuring that Palantir played a key role in helping international partners collaborate to make the world a safer place to live.

His philosophy has always been clear: "by putting highly talented, value-oriented engineers as close as you can to an organisation's most challenging problems, you effect fundamental change." Trained at Oxford in Computer Science and UCL in Telecommunications, he combines deep technical foundations with the hard-won credibility of someone who has delivered in the UK's most sensitive and complex environments.
