Air has appointed Anuj Vohra as General Counsel as the company expands its artificial intelligence-powered Enterprise Readiness platform across the U.S. national security market.
Vohra will oversee Air’s corporate legal affairs, including governance, regulatory compliance and government contracting. His responsibilities will include strengthening the legal and operational frameworks needed to support the company’s continued growth across federal agencies and military customers.
The appointment comes as Air scales its work throughout the national security enterprise. The company has established relationships across the federal government and every branch of the U.S. military under the leadership of CEO Tara Murphy Dougherty.
Air achieved unicorn status in 2025, indicating a private valuation of at least $1 billion. As the company grows, it is increasing its focus on internal systems, compliance processes and governance capabilities that can support larger and more complex government programs.
The company was also ranked No. 18 on the 2026 NatSec100, an annual list recognizing venture-backed companies operating across defense and dual-use technology. Air said it achieved the largest upward movement of any company included in the 2026 ranking.
Vohra brings more than 20 years of legal experience involving federal procurement, government investigations, regulatory compliance and commercial disputes within the defense and technology industries.
He joins Air from Crowell & Moring, where he served as a partner in the law firm’s Government Contracts practice for more than eight years.
At Crowell & Moring, Vohra represented government contractors in commercial disputes and maintained an active bid protest practice before the U.S. Government Accountability Office and the U.S. Court of Federal Claims.
A bid protest is a formal challenge involving how a government contract was awarded or how a procurement process was conducted. These matters can affect whether a contract proceeds, is reevaluated or is awarded to another bidder.
Vohra’s experience in this area could support Air as it pursues federal contracts and navigates procurement requirements across defense and civilian agencies.
Before joining Crowell & Moring, Vohra served as Special Counsel at Covington & Burling. In that role, he advised contractors throughout the federal procurement lifecycle, including issues that can arise before bidding, during contract performance and after an award.
His background also includes nearly six years as a trial attorney with the U.S. Department of Justice. Vohra litigated procurement protests and breach-of-contract cases before the U.S. Court of Federal Claims and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.
He began his legal career as an Assistant Corporation Counsel with the City of Chicago Department of Law.
Vohra holds a Juris Doctor from the University of Illinois College of Law and a bachelor’s degree from the University of Michigan.
Air said his combined private-sector and government experience will be important as the company responds to the legal, regulatory and contractual requirements associated with national security work.
Government technology companies can face complex obligations involving procurement rules, cybersecurity, data handling, intellectual property, export controls, contract performance and oversight.
As General Counsel, Vohra will help Air manage those requirements while supporting the company’s product development and commercial growth.
Air was formerly known as Govini. The company describes itself as the leader in Enterprise Readiness, a category of AI-native systems intended to help national security organizations coordinate the development, production, delivery and sustainment of critical capabilities.
The Air Enterprise Readiness platform is designed to give government and military organizations a clearer view of industrial capacity, supply constraints, resource requirements and operational delivery.
According to the company, the platform connects areas that are often managed through separate systems or processes. This can help decision-makers understand whether equipment and other resources can be produced, delivered and maintained at the pace required by operational teams.
Air refers to the difference between what frontline organizations require and what the broader national security system can deliver as the Readiness Gap.
The company’s platform is intended to help close that gap by identifying constraints, coordinating resources and improving execution across the defense production and sustainment process.
Air’s growth reflects broader efforts by the U.S. government and military services to adopt commercially developed AI and data technologies more quickly.
As federal agencies increase their use of products from venture-backed defense technology companies, those businesses must develop legal and compliance organizations capable of supporting government-scale deployments.
Vohra’s appointment gives Air an internal legal executive with experience representing contractors, litigating procurement matters and advising organizations throughout the federal contracting process.
The company expects his leadership to help ensure that Air’s governance, compliance and contracting capabilities mature alongside its customer base and technology platform.
