Interview with Sergey Georgiev

Sergey Georgiev, the new Senior Business Development Manager, is poised to make a significant impact in the drone industry. With a rich background and passion for drone technology, Georgiev is eager to help the whole industry continue to develop further.

Originally from Bulgaria, Georgiev moved to Germany to study law. However, it was during his final year of law school that he discovered drones, sparking a newfound interest that would eventually lead him to a career in the industry. Georgiev spent almost 9 years at DJI's European Headquarters, honing his skills and knowledge before taking on his current role.

Georgiev is particularly interested in the trend of drones as first responders. He has helped public safety officers, governments, and large enterprises start their drone programs, recognising the potential of drone-in-a-box solutions like DJI Dock 2 to provide crucial live video and situational awareness in emergency situations. These solutions can help with remote operations, minimise risk for humans, and make inspections more efficient.

The ongoing trend of drones as first responders is a key area of interest for Georgiev. He is excited about the commercial drone market’s rapid growth and diversification into new sectors and regions, promising fresh business opportunities. The rise of autonomous and AI-powered drones, which enhance operational capabilities and open new revenue streams, also captures Georgiev's attention.

Georgiev is also keen on the confluence of military and commercial advancements, including propulsion innovations and logistics applications. These developments enable cross-sector partnership potential. Regulatory reforms that lower barriers to scale and integration into national airspaces, supporting expansive deployment, are another area of focus for Georgiev.

Navigating and leveraging the evolving global supply chain and geopolitical landscape to position the company competitively is also a priority for Georgiev. His goal is to help government and enterprise users adopt drone technology, and he is eager to meet and exchange ideas with the website's customers and partners.

The mission and vision of the website aligns with Georgiev's desire to continue promoting drone technology. The website has aviation experts in the team who support customers with SORA / BVLOS applications and ensure full compliance with EU regulations. The team's focus on drone-in-a-box solutions, like DJI Dock 2, reflects Georgiev's belief in the potential of these technologies to revolutionise the industry.

In his first year at the website, Georgiev's top priority is to raise awareness about the platform's capabilities for managing drone operations in a compliant way. He is active on LinkedIn and can be connected with there. Georgiev is excited to help a European startup grow and contribute to the continued development of the drone industry.
