CEO of Palantir Technologies Alex Karp attends the Pennsylvania Energy and Innovation Summit on the campus of Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on July 15, 2025.
Palantir 's head of global communications said Wednesday that the company's political shift toward the Trump administration is "concerning."
"I think it's going to be challenging, as a lot of the company is moving pro-Trum-, you know, is moving in a certain direction," communications chief Lisa Gordon said in an interview at The Information's Women in Tech, Media and Finance summit.
"It's concerning," she said, while noting she's a Democrat and previously worked on Walter Mondale's presidential campaign.
President Ronald Reagan defeated Mondale, who served as vice president under Jimmy Carter, in the 1984 presidential election.
"So until recently, we're pretty much on both sides, and so it hasn't been that challenging," Gordon said about Republicans and Democrats. "I'm just starting to navigate that now, moving forward, where I feel like there's been a shift."
Palantir CEO Alex Karp, who has given money to the campaigns of former Vice President Kamala Harris and President Joe Biden, has been outspoken about his recent support for President Donald Trump.
Gordon said Karp's "frustration with the Democrats" pushed him in a different direction politically.
Gordon told CNBC in an email that "Palantir welcomes diverse opinions."
"The company has worked with four administrations and prides itself on supporting the nation no matter who's in office," she wrote.
