Consulting

I work with management consultants, venture capitalists, and investment bankers to evaluate drone and related technologies through short-term engagements. Past projects have included analyzing the total addressable market for the drone services industry, building personas for drone users in the electric utility space, identifying the most promising technologies in precision agriculture, and evaluating the strengths and weaknesses of robot-focused startups for investment due diligence.

This expertise has been recognized by mainstream and trade press alike. I have been quoted extensively in pieces covering a range of topics surrounding the commercial use of drones in publications ranging from strong trades like GIM International to general interest ones like Yahoo Tech and been invited to speak at venues from Harvard Business School to the San Francisco Bar Association. A complete list of articles featuring my insights and invited talks is available on my publications page.
