This appointment follows a transition period during which Nixon led the U.S. business in a dual capacity alongside his role as chief customer officer. During this time, the company has seen continued progress across sales, partnerships, and regional priorities.

“Since stepping in as the interim leader, Randy has driven meaningful progress across the business while maintaining a clear focus on our customers and mission,” said Blake Bartlett, Janes chief executive officer. “His deep expertise and leadership experience position him well to continue advancing our U.S. operations.”

Nixon joined Janes as chief customer officer in September 2025, after a distinguished career in the U.S. intelligence community, including serving as director of the CIA’s Open-Source Enterprise.

“I’m excited to step into this role on a permanent basis,” said Nixon. “Having spent my career in service to the nation and relying on Janes to support my mission, I’m committed to advancing our foundational military intelligence and continuing to equip our customers with the clarity and confidence they need when it matters most.”
