About William Goodwin
I lead legal and strategy at Oklo, which is designing and deploying advanced fission power plants to provide clean, reliable, affordable energy. Previously, I worked on special projects and strategy at Joby, supporting our DOD work, government affairs and legal teams, and ran our 18 month site selection sprint for Joby's 2,000 job megafactory.More distantly in the past, I worked at Skyryse. We operated an air taxi service in Los Angeles, while building the technology foundation for self-flying helicopters. Before that, I was the first lawyer and general counsel at AirMap, a UTM company, where I headed the legal and policy teams. Prior to in-house life, I practiced law in the San Francisco office of Morrison | Foerster, with a split practice of commercial litigation, tech transactions, and regulatory counseling on UAS.I'm also an advisor and investor in startups in highly-regulated industries, especially those trying to determine where to build in America. Drop a line if you're wondering where the best places to put a factory might be...
