Clarity Innovations hires Hobbs as chief executive

Clarity Innovations hires Hobbs as chief executive. Brian Hobbs most recently led the national security portfolio at Accenture's U.S. federal arm, which he joined through its Novetta acquisition in 2021. Clarity Innovations photo. Stay Connected Find opportunities - and win them. February 17, 2026 01:25 PM ET The Capitol Meridian partners-backed company is entering the next phase of its strategy following a rapid expansion push that included a merger. Clarity Innovations has hired a new chief executive in Brian Hobbs, a two-decade national security market veteran and a former portfolio leader at Accenture's U.S. federal subsidiary. Hobbs joins Clarity to lead the next phase of its strategy following a rapid expansion push by the technology integrator with the backing of Capitol Meridian Partners, a private investment firm. CMP purchased Clarity in late 2023, then supported its merger with Chameleon Consulting Group in the summer of 2024. Wes Daniels, who founded Clarity in 2012, is transitioning from the CEO position to a new role as president of strategic initiatives. Clarity said Tuesday that Daniels will remain involved in shaping the company's strategy and innovation efforts, as well as customer and partner relationships. Prior to Clarity, Hobbs led the national security portfolio at Accenture Federal Services after joining the company in 2021 through its acquisition of Novetta. Hobbs' appointment to lead Clarity also reunites him with Tiffanny Gates, chair of Clarity's board of directors and a managing partner at CMP. Gates led Novetta as CEO in the four-year period leading up to its acquisition by Accenture Federal, where she led the national security portfolio for the next two years before Hobbs succeeded her. "I have seen firsthand how Brian leads through growth, complexity, and change. He brings sound judgement, deep respect for mission, and people-first leadership style that aligns with Clarity's work and culture," Gates said in a release. "This transition reflects a deliberate evolution of the leadership team- pairing Brian's operational and growth experience with Wes's continued leadership, vision, and deep connection to the mission." Hobbs first joined Novetta in 2016 as a senior vice president. His career also includes leadership roles at KeyW Corp., Blackbird Technologies, Six3 Systems, CACI International, Parsons Corp. and Sabre Systems.
