Executive Search for eVTOL & Advanced Mobility Trailblazers

We help next-gen mobility pioneers hire the AI, autonomy, and systems leaders they can’t afford to get wrong — from flight control to platform scale-up.

What’s Changing in eVTOL & Advanced Aerospace?

The eVTOL and advanced aerospace sector is transforming urban mobility with electric aircraft, drone delivery, and AI-piloted systems. From autonomous flight to airspace management, startups face steep regulatory hurdles, massive technical complexity, and capital intensity. As “AI in aerospace” becomes mission-critical, finding leaders who can bridge autonomy, certification, and aerospace systems is harder than ever. Emerging aerospace companies hiring today are building what’s never been done before — and need talent ready for that challenge.
