SKYDATA LLC was born from a meeting of two very different paths — one rooted in aviation, the other in corporate strategy — united by a shared curiosity for innovation and a drive to do things better.
One founder, an airline pilot, had spent years mastering the precision, safety, and discipline of flight operations. The other had spent two decades leading in the corporate world, managing teams, solving complex business challenges, and understanding how data shapes smarter decisions. Together, they saw a gap — and an opportunity.
Drone technology was advancing rapidly, yet many organizations struggled to turn aerial imagery into meaningful insights. The two founders realized they could merge their experiences — one’s deep technical knowledge of flight and the other’s strategic approach to operations and client service — to deliver data with purpose, not just pixels.
With that vision, SKYDATA was launched. The early days were hands-on: testing aircraft in all weather conditions, building workflows, learning how to turn drone missions into valuable data products for clients. The goal was simple but powerful — bring aviation-level safety and professionalism to the emerging world of drone services, while maintaining the reliability and business focus clients expect from a trusted partner. As SKYDATA grew, so did its capabilities. What began with a single drone and a shared passion has evolved into a full-service operation providing aerial inspection, mapping, and data analysis across New England and beyond. The company now serves clients in construction, energy, infrastructure, and real estate — always guided by the same principles that sparked its creation: accuracy, integrity, and innovation.
At SKYDATA, every mission still begins the same way — with careful planning, collaboration, and a commitment to excellence. Whether it’s a high-stakes inspection or a complex mapping project, the team approaches each flight with the precision of a pilot and the perspective of a business strategist.
From the cockpit to the conference room, SKYDATA'S founders continue to lead with the belief that better data leads to better decisions — and that technology, when combined with human expertise, can help organizations see the world from a higher vantage point.
