Westminster, Colo., April 15, 2026--Vantor today announced that Elie Tabchouri has joined the company as Executive Vice President and General Manager of its International Government business segment. He will lead Vantor’s efforts to further scale its international footprint across the Middle East, Asia-Pacific, Europe, and Latin America, capitalizing on surging demand for the company’s sovereign intelligence capabilities.
Tabchouri joins Vantor from Google with deep experience helping governments integrate advanced AI-powered capabilities into sovereign environments. At Google, he spent the best part of a decade focused on helping governments build AI-powered and sovereign cloud capabilities, including leading public sector cloud businesses across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. Most recently, he led sales for Google’s Distributed Cloud business in EMEA, partnering with ministries of defense and government agencies to deploy sovereign on-premise systems.
“Elie has spent his career helping governments build sovereign capability in cutting-edge technology—from the early days of cloud to today’s AI-driven systems—often taking programs from concept to reality,” said Dan Smoot, Vantor CEO. “That experience is critical for this moment. As governments seek greater control over how intelligence is built and deployed, demand for mission-ready capabilities is accelerating. That demand drove double-digit growth in our international business last year, and I’m excited for Elie to scale that momentum as we help nations strengthen their sovereignty.”
