Glen Stark is a pragmatic software leader with 11 years of senior engineering and management experience, currently serving as Head of Software Development in Zurich. He has scaled R&D teams from startup size to 30+ engineers, driven C++ coding standards, and built infrastructures for near-real‑time metrics and reliability across computer-vision and embedded domains. Past roles include directing international software and services for a commercial drone maker, where he managed distributed teams, won and delivered large RFPs, and shaped open-source collaboration with PX4. Glen combines deep low-level C++ and embedded expertise with strong process design—migration to modern VCS, CI/CD, automated testing, and observability are recurring themes in his work. Known as a “techno-diplomat,” he excels at resolving cross-functional conflict and translating complex technical trade-offs into stakeholder-aligned roadmaps. With an academic background in computational science and physics from ETH Zurich and Georgia Tech, he brings rigorous analytical thinking to practical engineering leadership.
