About Tom Owen

I am committed to helping Public Safety professionals perform in their roles with greater safety, efficiency and, in some cases, accuracy. It’s an honor to work with, and for, the men and women who serve.Building on a successful career working with start-ups and more established companies in the Mobile and Wireless sector, I have been applying my skills with my aviation experience to the unmanned aerial systems (UAS) industry since 2017 working with Enterprise, Oil & Gas, Rail, Utilities and Public Safety agencies to launch and manage UAS programs before narrowing my focus to the public safety vertical since 2019.My passion to help others is a driving force in helping those who answer the call. As an active member of two response organizations, I have the privilege of providing this value to my teams and the communities we serve. Giving back at this level is immensely gratifying.Prior to my roles in public safety, I was an experienced business development executive focused on establishing strategic partnerships, market presence, and closing revenue.  I have worked very closely with some of the world's largest wireless operators (Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile…), and navigated mobile/wireless ecosystems building application development, UI/UX and location services (application/platforms). I am still a results-oriented customer advocate with a proven ability to quickly identify and execute strategic relationships based on mutual value resulting in long-term mutually effective partnerships.  Experience has taught me to see the big picture while maintaining focus on the details required for success.  With intense loyalty and integrity, I'm proud of a very deep network of lifelong industry contacts.Expertise includes: Sales and Business Development, Strategic Alliances, New Market Strategy and Access, Market Presence, Corporate and Product Evangelist, New Product Development, Start-Up Advisor and Consultant
