Safesky Systems has announced the appointment of a new chief executive officer to strengthen the commercial and global market strategies of the company.
Jack Kormas will lead the Australian company, bringing experience from work in engineering and executive roles in aviation, which will effectively see him contribute to Safesky’s speciality of designing, manufacturing and deploying advanced unmanned aerial systems.
“I am looking forward to building on the work already underway, strengthening Safesky Systems’ management, engineering and operational frameworks, and ensuring we are well positioned to meet demand in Australia and overseas,” Kormas said.
“Safesky Systems has the right foundation and my focus will be on guiding the organisation as it moves into more structured growth.
“I am particularly energised by the chance to expand our Australian capability base while supporting the growing interest we are seeing globally. I am committed to ensuring our technology is ready for deployment and that Safesky Systems is equipped to support customers with the level of discipline and responsiveness they expect.”
Safesky said this appointment is a demonstration of their continued commitment to advancing Australia’s defensive technology and expanding its international presence.
The company is set to open a new facility in Melbourne to support small-scale manufacturing, systems integration and technical refinement of its products, of which Kormas will oversee the establishment and operation of this site. He will additionally lead efforts to strengthen engineering capability, local partnerships and operational readiness for eventual global deployment.
“This is a turning point for Safesky Systems. Customers and governments are looking for capability that is robust, proven and ready for integration into demanding environments. Jack’s leadership will help ensure our technology meets those expectations and that Safesky Systems is structured to support meaningful, long-term partnerships,” said Dion Epstein, Safesky Systems co-founder.
Currently, Safesky is focused on demonstration programs for their fixed-wing VTRX platform with the hope of securing commercial collaborations.
