Dr. Dragoş Andrei P.

🚀 As Chief Operating Officer at Dronomy, I lead the operational, technical, and commercial execution of a deeptech startup specialized in autonomous drone-based inventory automation for the logistics sector. My role bridges long-term vision with day-to-day traction, ensuring strategic alignment, team coordination, and measurable growth. 📦 Operations: I design and optimize deployment processes in real warehouses, managing technical pilots with retail, industrial, and transport clients. I coordinate cross-functional teams to ensure feasible, scalable, and data-driven implementations. 🎯 Go-to-Market: I’ve built a multichannel prospecting system (LinkedIn, outbound emailing, inbound marketing) generating thousands of weekly views and a steady lead conversion rate. I lead product demos, engage with logistics executives, and close B2B deals with decision-makers across Europe. 🤝 Customer–Product Alignment: I act as the translator between client needs and technical capabilities. My approach is consultative, pragmatic, and grounded in product reality—focused on solving problems, not overpromising features. 🧠 Strategy and Brand: I co-develop the company's positioning, narrative, and strategic materials. I actively participate in public funding processes and ecosystem initiatives (e.g., sectoral roundtables, innovation forums), while advancing brand-building tools like our Value Proposition and Brand Framework. 📊 Impact: I help turn abstract opportunities into structured, high-conversion processes. I keep the team aligned across technical and commercial priorities, while preserving agility and adapting to fast-changing demands. 🛠️ I operate at the intersection of technology, operations, and strategy—with a product-driven mindset and a strong focus on execution, clarity, and growth.
