Top SchoolBrian Grau is a marine robotics entrepreneur and engineer with 11 years of hands-on experience building underwater vehicles and scaling production from prototype to contract manufacturing. As Co-Founder and CEO of Mission Robotics, he leads efforts to rethink ocean exploration and connectivity, drawing on prior roles that ranged from systems engineering for autonomous vehicles to heading production at OpenROV and Sofar Ocean Technologies. He has shepherded the first consumer underwater drone through EVT/DVT/PVT and global supply chains, and is fluent in balancing regulatory, manufacturing, and field-testing challenges. Based in the Bay Area, Brian combines product-focused leadership with deep technical troubleshooting and supplier management skills.
