Draganfly Drones is a Canadian based drone manufacturer and integrator providing UAVs and related technology into the dual use sector. Joined the Board through the go public process and served on the Board in various capacities since then including Board Chair, Chair of the Audit, Governance, and Compensation committees. Also acted as interim President for 18 months to provide operational and scale support. Since I joined the Board, we have raised approximately $200 million.
CO2 Lock is a carbon dioxide sequestration startup building out a co2 storage facility capable of storing upwards of 25 million tons of co2, permanently. I joined to support the company through a seed round, the regulatory process, and to help build out the value chain.
I was CEO and Founder of SpaceAlpha Insights, an Earth observation company developing next-generation synthetic aperture radar for space. We acquired very advanced technology out of a bankruptcy proceeding, raised $8 million a seed round, generated $10 million in revenue within 3 years, but eventually decided to put the opportunity on hold due to market conditions.
I have been involved with a number of companies building out drones and related technology as well as other deep tech companies. I support governance, go to market strategies, financing, corporate strategy, and mergers and acquisitions.
I co-founded and served as CEO of Helios Wire, a space-enabled IoT network integrating satellite infrastructure with blockchain architecture. We raised approximately $12 million, launched two satellites, secured over $100 million in customer commitments, and ultimately exited to a strategic investor.
I co-founded and led UrtheCast as CEO where we partnered with Roscosmos to deploy cameras on the International Space Station. We delivered the first colour HD video from space, built a global Earth observation platform, scaled to 250 employees across seven offices, raised $200 million in public markets and completed a $100 million acquisition.
