Secretary F. Whitten Peters is an attorney and senior level public official who most recently served as Secretary of the Air Force. Before being appointed Secretary of the Air Force, Secretary Peters was principal deputy general counsel for the Department of Defense and then Undersecretary of the Air Force.

Major General Paul Weaver is a distinguished retired United States Air Force officer who served as director of the Air National Guard where he was responsible for formulating, developing, and coordinating operations that affected more than 104,000 members of the Air National Guard, across more than 1,800 units in the United States and its territories.

"It is exciting to be part of an organization that continues to demonstrate its commitment to innovation, agility, and—most importantly—collaboration with our defense agencies to address national security issues. We need companies like DataShapes building solutions that stay ahead of our adversaries. I devoted my career to fighting the threats of these adversaries and in this advisory role, I can continue to do so. I look forward to influencing their expanding suite of ground-breaking products that support the strategic priorities of the DoD."

"Secretary Peters and Major General Weaver bring an astounding level of experience that will undoubtedly challenge our thinking and help expand and enhance our solutions, letting us bring them to market faster," said Jon Meyers, DataShapes' co-founder and CEO.
