Why I joined the Stabilitas team.

I have been very fortunate to work with many high functioning teams throughout my career. As an Air Force officer my coworkers and I revolutionized the way Air Mobility Command was tracking aircraft and visualizing emerging risks.

Later, while working at Google I had the pleasure of collaborating with brilliant technologists who were pushing the bounds of innovation and palpating interesting data.

When a group of people is operating well together and driving tirelessly toward a common goal, there is nothing like the thrill and intensity of chasing a demanding objective. I saw this passion in the Stabilitas team and jumped at the chance to join their startup journey.

The Stabilitas founders were galvanized by military service and an ardor for keeping people safe. I am passionate about putting “crap on a map,” and I am bringing that geospatial zeal to my new role with Stabilitas. Together we will collect, scrutinize and map the information that travelers and mobile employees need to stay safe and informed.

I am excited to begin digging in and leverage technology to collate disparate news reporting, social media activities and location-based data. The first objective is to use machine learning and natural language processing to understand where on Earth events are happening, and how those events can impact travelers.

I love audacious challenges, and the focused pursuit of Stabilitas is exactly the type of mission I am proud to support.
