Experience

Business Development and Operations Manager
Palo Alto, CA
Autonomous drone solutions for law enforcement. Arc is building the autonomy infrastructure for emergency response through a vertically integrated platform that acts as the eyes, ears, and delivery system for cities in crisis. When a 911 call comes in, our autonomous drone launches instantly, navigates complex environments, and streams live video back to dispatch and responders, reducing emergency response times from 14 minutes to just 90 seconds. Our long-term vision is to orchestrate fleets of drones that operate as intelligent nodes in a connected public safety network. These fleets will dynamically respond across jurisdictions, share data in real time, and learn from every mission. Just as Palantir became the operating system for decision-making, Arc is becoming the autonomy layer for physical response. In the future, cities will not just have drones. They will have our Airis platform. 1.
