SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico, Dec. 02, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —\u00a0Red Cat Holdings, Inc<\/u><\/a>. (Nasdaq: RCAT), a drone technology company building hardware and software for military, government, and commercial operations, today announced several leadership updates to align its executive team with the company\u2019s top priorities for scaling operations, manufacturing and meeting the needs of a fast-growing portfolio of customers.<\/p>

George Matus, Red Cat\u2019s Chief Technology Officer (CTO), is departing the company and is taking the role of CTO at\u00a0Vector<\/u><\/a>. As the founder of Teal Drones, George has played a vital role in Red Cat\u2019s journey, including the recent production selection of its Black Widow drones for the U.S. Army\u2019s SRR Program. His innovative contributions have significantly advanced Red Cat\u2019s technology and product development.<\/p>

\u201cGeorge has been an invaluable asset to Red Cat and we fully support his transition to Chief Technology Officer at Vector,\u201d said Jeff Thompson, Red Cat CEO. \u201cRed Cat looks forward to partnering with Vector to equip the U.S. military and its warfighters with fully integrated, rapidly deployable technology that ensures operational success.\u201d<\/p>

Chris Rill, currently Director of Partner Integration, will also transition to the role of President of Teal Drones, another Red Cat subsidiary. Chris brings nearly 20 years of experience working at the intersection of hardware and software. As a co-founder and CTO at Canary, Chris successfully delivered two award-winning connected camera security products and shipped more than 200,000 products globally. He has served as CTO for several other connected hardware companies where he’s advised on product development, security, strategy, manufacturing, fundraising, and hiring. In his new role Chris will focus on scaling engineering and manufacturing and developing process efficiencies to meet the large-scale demands of the U.S. Army and Red Cat\u2019s global customers.<\/p>

These leadership updates follow the recent announcement of Geoffrey Hitchcock\u2019s promotion from General Manager of Teal Drones to Chief Revenue Officer (CRO) for Red Cat, underscoring the company\u2019s deliberate efforts to expand its market reach and advance its leadership position in the small UAS industry.<\/p>

\u201cAs a fast-growing company in a rapidly evolving industry, aligning our leadership with our aggressive plans for scale is paramount,\u201d added Thompson. \u201cChris and Geoff have proven track records in scaling operations, forging partnerships, and delivering innovative solutions required for the modern battlefield. With these strategic changes, we are well-positioned to meet the increasing demands of our customers while ensuring we fit into the U.S. Army\u2019s long-term vision for medium and long-range UAS operations.\u201d<\/p>
