SkyLense is a Minnesota-based, woman-owned company building integrated sensor hardware and AI software for counter-UAS and low-altitude site awareness.
Our mission is to deliver trusted visual intelligence that helps operators understand what's happening now, decide faster, and respond with confidence — without noise, and without guessing.
Every SkyLense capability is designed for practical field performance — clean operator outputs, low false alarms, and hardware that survives the environment.
Detect, classify, and track small drones with evidence-backed outputs and operator control. Persistent coverage of low-altitude airspace with multi-sensor fusion and confidence scoring on every track.
Persistent monitoring of complex sites — people, vehicles, and anomalous activity — with low false alarms. Configurable zone logic and alert thresholds for fixed and semi-fixed installations.
Rugged sensor pods that ingest video and other feeds at the edge and deliver synchronized tracks, video, and confidence scoring. Operates in denied or bandwidth-constrained environments without cloud dependency.
A clean, purpose-built operator interface that surfaces tracks, alerts, and evidence in real time. Full incident logging, exportable reports, and audit-ready chain-of-custody for every detection event.
Our systems are deployed across defense, infrastructure, and commercial environments where operators need accurate, low-latency situational awareness.
SkyLense is currently operating in stealth. Our founding team brings deep credentials across finance, defense-adjacent programs, and hard technology — built on years of execution in environments where imprecision has consequences.
We are a team of operators, engineers, and capital allocators who have built and shipped hard technology at scale — across global financial institutions, defense-adjacent industrial programs, Fortune 500 hardware companies, and pioneering AR/VR platforms. We've led organizations through growth, regulated markets, and field-deployed systems where the margin for error is zero. Names are available under NDA. Credentials are real.
Our CEO has built and scaled technically hard companies across energy, manufacturing, and national security-adjacent markets — environments where capital discipline and execution actually matter. Her background spans global banking, hedge funds, and the Big Four, with deep experience steering high-growth and transition-stage companies through complexity. She holds an MBA from one of the top business schools in the country, with a focus on capital markets, quantitative analysis, and pricing strategy. She currently serves as COO/CFO of an energy company and CEO of an AI venture — operating simultaneously at the frontier of capital allocation and long-horizon value creation.
Our COO is a Technical Program Leader with over a decade guiding complex embedded hardware and software programs from first prototype through mass deployment. At a major global technology company, she oversees multi-pod engineering programs spanning automation, analytics, and AI-driven validation for commercial hardware at scale — with a direct focus on eliminating reliability escapes before they reach the field. Her core discipline is defining quality thresholds, building release gating frameworks, and driving production readiness across hardware, firmware, lab, and certification teams. She builds the risk models that tell you what's going to fail before it does. As a co-founder and WOSB representative, she owns program execution and field-deployment readiness at SkyLense.
Our CTO is a camera and optical systems leader with over 15 years at the intersection of hardware, optics, and computer vision — across global semiconductor, AR/VR, and enterprise imaging. He holds a doctorate in electrical engineering and engineering management from a top-10 U.S. research university, and currently directs camera engineering at a major multinational technology company, where he leads metamaterial flat optics R&D and perception systems for next-generation devices. He previously architected imaging systems for a pioneering AR/VR platform, shipping one of the world's first commercial mixed reality headsets, and held senior roles in machine learning and imaging at a leading semiconductor firm. His peer-reviewed research has been cited over 1,500 times; he holds more than 20 U.S. patents in imaging, optical systems, and hardware control; and he contributed as principal investigator to a multi-national European Commission research programme in digital holography. At SkyLense, he leads the technical architecture of the edge sensor fusion pods, AI imaging pipelines, and the visual intelligence stack at the platform's core.
