In the drone industry since 2012, I am the CEO and Co-Founder of INVOLI. The goal of the company is to facilitate the spreading of drones by solving technological and regulatory blockages that are still in the way. In my year as a drone maker and drone operator, I realized the incredible business and humanitarian potential that drones have. This experience also allowed me to witness from a privileged point of view what is missing to allow the safe integration of drones into air traffic. I also noticed that the drone world was moving more and more into the "rigid" aviation world. Hence the need to approach aviation authorities and standards to help to mature this technology, increase the level of safety and make it more and more affordable for all businesses that want to profit from the sky to grow. Finally, it is not a coincidence that INVOLI was founded in Switzerland, which in my opinion remains the most advanced country in the world in terms of drone development and drone regulation. Feel free to contact me if you want to chat about drones and drone integration into the air traffic! In the past, I was Head of Industrialization at senseFly, Co-Founder at Drone Adventures (today Drones For Earth), and I hold a Ph.D. In Manufacturing Systems and Robotics from the EPFL (Switzerland).
