Hi, I’m Greg.  I’m an award-winning  founder, investor, public-company director, and professor.

I’ve built and sold AI and autonomy companies; I serve on the board of a publicly traded company, and I write and speak about how to govern technology without strangling it.

I was the first in my family to graduate from college; since then I’ve built businesses and raised over $140 million in capital from Microsoft, Sony, Rakuten, Airbus, Qualcomm, Baidu, and some of the top investment funds in the world.  I co-founded and sold my first company, AirMap, a multinational aerospace and defense software leader honored as one of the “World’s Most Innovative Companies” by Fast Company,  and ranked by Inc.com as one of the world’s “25 Most Disruptive Companies.”

Today, I sit on the board of EXYN Technologies (NASDAQ), an autonomy, robotics, and AI company, where I chair the Nominating and Governance Committee. I was Executive Chairman of the maritime AI company SailPlanAI through its acquistion, and I invest in and advise founders across AI, defense, and hardware-software integration.

As a professor, I teach technology-related courses at Pepperdine University, where I am an affiliated faculty member with the Palmer Center for Entrepreneurship.
