Leadership

Leadership with one mission.

Building the Physical Intelligence Layer requires expertise across engineering, enterprise software, finance, operations, sales, security, and customer success.

AIREZ brings together leaders from each of these disciplines to build one platform with one mission.

Why this team

Building a category requires more than technology.

AIREZ is not entering an existing market. The company is creating an entirely new category — Physical Intelligence — a layer that sits between the sensing infrastructure organizations already own and the operational decisions they need to make.

Defining a category takes more than engineers. It takes leaders who have sold to the enterprise, governed a company through diligence, run revenue systems at scale, deployed physical security in regulated environments, and carried customers from a first site to a national footprint.

One platform. One mission. Ten disciplines behind it.

Executive leadership

The team accountable for the platform.

Select any leader to read their background, area of responsibility, and how they contribute to the mission.

A decorated United States Air Force Gulf War veteran, Herman founded the company in 2019 around a single conviction: better decisions begin with better awareness. He acquired the multi-patented Fiber Optic Ring Interferometer technology that became the platform's second sensing modality, and led the company through the discovery that its AI engine was sensor-agnostic.

Area of responsibility: Vision, category strategy, capital
Contribution to the mission: Sets the Physical Intelligence category thesis and holds the company to one platform, one mission.

Katherine leads financial strategy, forecasting, and reporting discipline for a company scaling from breakthrough technology into enterprise deployment. She builds the financial controls and reporting cadence enterprise customers and institutional investors expect.

Area of responsibility: Finance, planning, controls
Contribution to the mission: Keeps growth capital-efficient and every commitment financially defensible.

Rusty manages the company's relationships with its investor base, translating platform milestones and deployment traction into a clear, consistent narrative for current and prospective shareholders.

Area of responsibility: Capital markets, investor communications
Contribution to the mission: Aligns the capital behind AIREZ with the long horizon of building a new category.

Justin maintains the company's governance framework — board process, corporate records, entity compliance, and the legal structure that supports enterprise and government contracting.

Area of responsibility: Governance, legal compliance, corporate records
Contribution to the mission: Makes AIREZ a company large institutions can safely do business with.

Christina leads hiring, onboarding, and the people systems that let specialized engineering and revenue divisions scale without losing the company's operating culture.

Area of responsibility: Talent, culture, organizational design
Contribution to the mission: Builds the team capable of building the platform.

Lindsey runs the day-to-day operating rhythm of the company — planning cycles, cross-division coordination, vendor and program administration — so engineering and revenue teams execute against a single calendar.

Area of responsibility: Business operations, execution cadence
Contribution to the mission: Turns strategy into a weekly operating cadence.

Cory leads platform architecture and the four specialized engineering divisions. He is responsible for how AIREZ ingests, fuses, and reasons over signal from more than eighty sensing modalities, and for the orchestration approach that selects the right model for each task.

Area of responsibility: Platform architecture, engineering divisions
Contribution to the mission: Owns the technical architecture of the Physical Intelligence Layer.

Jon leads the enterprise sales organization and the commercial motion that carries AIREZ into Fortune 250 environments, critical infrastructure operators, and government programs.

Area of responsibility: Enterprise sales, revenue organization
Contribution to the mission: Converts platform capability into deployed enterprise programs.

Holly owns the customer relationship after deployment — adoption, operational outcomes, and the expansion path from a first site to a multi-site intelligence layer.

Area of responsibility: Adoption, retention, expansion
Contribution to the mission: Ensures every deployment compounds into continuous optimization.

Engineering leadership

Engineering organized as specialized divisions.

AIREZ does not run one generalized software team. Engineering is structured into four divisions, each responsible for a distinct layer of the Physical Intelligence Platform, so depth compounds instead of diluting.

01
Platform Engineering
Core intelligence layer
Builds the ingestion, fusion, and reasoning core — the multi-model orchestration engine, data plane, and enterprise architecture the entire platform runs on.
02
Platform Integration Engineering
Systems customers already own
Connects existing infrastructure — VMS, access control, building systems, cloud and edge environments — so AIREZ deploys onto owned systems rather than replacing them.
03
Sensor Intelligence Engineering
New sensing modalities
Evaluates emerging sensing technologies, characterizes their signal behaviour, and builds the interpretation models that bring each new modality into the platform. This division is the reason the sensor library keeps expanding: every technology it validates becomes a permanent capability for every customer.
04
Product Intelligence Engineering
Mission-specific outcomes
Turns platform capability into mission solutions — the workflows, interfaces, and decision surfaces operators use every day.

Revenue leadership

One commercial organization, end to end.

From first enterprise conversation to multi-site expansion, the commercial organization is built as a single continuous system rather than disconnected teams.

01
Enterprise Sales
Direct enterprise engagement
Discovery-led engagement with Fortune 250 operators, critical infrastructure, and government programs.
02
Channel Sales
National delivery reach
Integrator and partner network extending deployment capacity across the United States.
03
Marketing
Category definition
Establishes Physical Intelligence as a category and generates qualified enterprise demand.
04
Revenue Operations
Forecast and systems
CRM, pipeline discipline, forecasting accuracy, and commercial reporting across the organization.
05
Customer Success
Adoption and outcomes
Owns operational value realization from first deployment onward.
06
Customer Expansion
Site and modality growth
Grows each account from a single site into a multi-site, multi-modality intelligence layer.
