On Tuesday, Dec. 8, Auterion announced the appointment of Cynthia Huang as the company’s Vice President of Enterprise Business Development.

Considered one of the top executives in the drone industry, Huang, who comes from DJI, will lead the go-to-market strategy for Auterion’s suite of enterprise products. Huang will partner with enterprise customers in the utility, oil & gas, telco, and mining industries to provide the customization and flexibility available with Auterion’s platform and fast-growing ecosystem of manufacturers and independent software vendors.

“As drones play a crucial role for enterprises to continue working in these challenging times, Auterion’s founders and I share a common vision of customizable, open systems for every customer,” Huang says. 

“Auterion’s open-source technology combined with its thriving ecosystem offers the kind of flexibility and personalization that customers simply can’t find with any one proprietary company. Auterion is well-positioned to continue its strong growth trajectory and I look forward to introducing its unique value proposition to new enterprise customers.” 

Lorenz Meier, co-founder and CEO of Auterion, adds, “we’re excited to have Cynthia join our senior team during a period of significant growth and innovation at Auterion. As we look to transform the drone industry with an open-source ecosystem, Cynthia’s extensive expertise in business development will help us deliver cutting-edge drone products like the Astro to our customers so they can work safer and more efficiently.”

In addition to Huang’s appointment, Auterion also announced that it has received a magnitude of the expected pre-orders for the new, Auterion-powered Freefly Systems Astro drone. Made in the U.S., the drone will ship to early access customers in the next couple of weeks.
