Meet Sergey Georgiev, our new Senior Business Development Manager. In this interview, Sergey shares how he started in the drone industry, why he joined AirHub, and what trends in the drone industry he is most excited about.

A: Can you tell us a bit about yourself?

S: My name is Sergey Georgiev, originally from Bulgaria. After finishing high school, I moved to Germany, to the city of Freiburg, to study law, specializing in internet and information law. I have always been interested in new technologies. In my final year as a student, I discovered drones and got excited about this new technology. Back in 2012, I started building my own drones and flying FPV. After my final law exams, I had the amazing opportunity to join the newly opened DJI's European Headquarters in Frankfurt. I spent almost 9 years at DJI helping public safety officers, governments, and large enterprises start their drone programs.

A: What made you decide to join AirHub?

S: As I have said, I have been helping first responders and enterprise customers to start using drone technology to improve their work for many years. The mission and vision of AirHub perfectly aligned with my desire to continue pushing this amazing technology for a better world. Drone operations software is a crucial part of properly adopting and integrating drone technology. Moreover, I liked the fact we have aviation experts in the team who support our customers with their SORA / BVLOS applications and ensure full compliance with EU regulations.

A: What excites you most about this new role?

S: I am very excited I will be able to be close to the drone users and continue my mission to spread the good word about drones helping society. Additionally, as a lawyer, I am excited to learn and exchange more with the team about SORA applications and EU regulations. Last but not least, I am very eager to help a European startup grow and show the world that truly good software is not only made abroad.

A: What are your top priorities for your first year at AirHub?

S: My goal is to continue helping government and enterprise users adopt drone technology. In 2025, it is more important than ever to use great software and manage drone operations in a compliant way. A top priority for me at AirHub will be to raise awareness about how the platform is already helping customers across the globe, whether it's for managing drone-in-a-box solutions, like DJI Dock 2, or drone fleets and pilots.

A: What trends in the drone industry do you find most interesting right now?

S: I am most excited about the ongoing trend of drones as first responders. Imagine having the ability to send a drone to a crime scene or emergency situation even before the officers are on site, providing crucial live video and situational awareness to the incident commanders. Drone-in-a-box solutions, like DJI Dock, are the perfect tool for this. Additionally, such solutions can help with remote operations in difficult-to-reach places, minimize or even eliminate risk for humans, and make inspections much more efficient.

A: What message would you like to share with AirHub’s customers and partners?

S: I am looking forward to meeting you, exchanging ideas, and sharing my knowledge and experience from over the years, so we can together help the whole drone industry continue to develop further.
