Nadia Schadlow Joins Marlinspike Partners as Senior Advisor
Dr. Nadia Schadlow, a former deputy national security advisor who spearheaded the 2017 National Security Strategy, has joined Arlington-based Marlinspike Partners. Her appointment aims to bridge the persistent divide between high-level government policy and the practical execution of industrial capabilities required for modern national security.

Marlinspike, which manages investments in firms like Anduril and Palantir, maintains a thesis-driven approach toward an autonomy-centric global economy. Managing Partner Mislav Tolusic noted that the firm specifically sought Schadlow to address the disconnect between strategic documents and field-ready results. According to CEO Neil Keegan, Schadlow's background in both crafting national policy and identifying its execution failures serves as a force multiplier for founders developing next-generation defense and industrial systems.
