Martin Viecha Joins Skyryse as a Strategic Advisor

Skyryse, the groundbreaking company that aims to simplify aviation through its unique flight operating system, SkyOS™, has recently announced a significant addition to its team. Martin Viecha, who previously served as the Head of Investor Relations at Tesla, has joined as a strategic advisor. This move marks an important step for Skyryse as they progress towards their ambitious goals in the aviation sector.

Viecha’s expertise in investor communications, honed over more than a decade at Tesla, positions him as a vital asset for Skyryse. During his time at Tesla, he was instrumental in shaping the company's successful capital markets strategy, particularly as Tesla redefined transportation possibilities. His insights into disruptive technologies and his skill in connecting investors with innovative visions will play a key role as Skyryse enters a new phase of development.

Dr. Mark Groden, the Founder and CEO of Skyryse, expressed his excitement about Viecha's new role. He noted, "Martin's insight into disruptive technologies and his ability to connect investors to our vision will be invaluable as we enter our next phase of growth." With Skyryse on the brink of final phase flight testing for their SkyOS, the addition of Viecha enhances the firm’s expanding ecosystem of advisors—from the fields of aviation, defense, and technology.

In addition to Viecha, the company has attracted other notable figures, including former FAA Chief Counsel Marc Nichols and retired Lieutenant Generals Ross Coffman and Karsten Heckl. Their collective expertise aims to bolster Skyryse’s mission of creating a safer and more accessible aviation experience.

Reflecting on his collaboration with Skyryse, Viecha stated, "I’ve met many companies and founders over the years, but Skyryse embodies the qualities I saw at Tesla more than any other. The mission, the team, the lean mindset—it was clear to me early on that being part of this story would be a privilege."
