Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPeter O'connor is a founder and CEO with 11 years of experience building perception-driven autonomy systems that bridge intelligent software and the physical world. He leads Eagle Eyes Search, developing computer-vision drone software that assists global search-and-rescue teams in scanning vast terrain and integrating drones into real operations. Previously he drove perception and navigation R&D at Brain Corp—leading teams that rebuilt a generation of navigation systems and cut human interventions across deployed fleets by roughly one third. Trained as a PhD in Artificial Intelligence with an interdisciplinary background from ETH Zürich and McGill, he blends deep research with hands-on product engineering. He pairs field-hardened pragmatism (he once planted hundreds of thousands of trees) with a focus on turning advanced autonomy into reliable, mission-critical tools.
