Head of Finance

What we do isn't easy—but we're doing it! By moving forestry above the treetops, we tend to all values of the forest. We provide non-invasive land management operations with our lightweight, high-capacity electric drones. This gives forests the ability to bind (much) more carbon dioxide, increase biodiversity, and regenerate faster, resulting in healthier forests and more efficient production value. Moreover, our approach improves the work environment for forest operators. Happier forests, happier people—makes a happier planet!

To power AirForestry’s fossil free forestry future, we’ve just closed a 10M round led by Northzone, a global $4b multi-stage VC fund, with their GP Pär-Jörgen Pärson joining our board.
