Co-Founder & Chief Executive Officer

Antaris Inc

California

I'm co-founder and CEO of Antaris, an early-stage satellite software start-up. We created Antaris to dramatically reduce costs and time-to-orbit for satellites through our cloud-based software platform. It's an area ripe for disruption, and we're saying goodbye to Old Space and ushering in New Space thinking. I'm also a long-time Bay Area tech exec and Stanford alum, and previously served as COO of satellite provider Planet Labs as well as CEO of Diamanti, Rackable Systems and Cygnus Solutions. I've also held leadership roles at Red Hat and Lightspeed Venture Partners. Please reach out if you're interested in learning more about Software for Space and the big problems we're working to solve.
