SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Fotokite, a startup with an office in the Tech Garden in Syracuse, announced it has appointed Craig Marcinkowski as its senior VP of strategy and business development.
He will be tasked with building a team of sales and service staff to deliver support to Fotokite’s U.S. public safety customer base, the company said in a news release.
Marcinkowski previously served as VP of strategy and corporate development for Gryphon Sensors LLC, an SRC company. Marcinkowski has nearly two decades of experience in the defense and aerospace industry, including profit and loss responsibilities, product development, software engineering, capture and program management, and domestic and international business development.
Fotokite was awarded the grand prize of $1 million last year during the Genius NY accelerator. Since then, the company has built up its first U.S office at the Tech Garden, which now has five full-time employees. The company says it is currently looking to hire several more people there.
Fotokite says it combines aerial and ground-based robotics with flight-control algorithms to create a kite-like tethered aerial camera system that can fly completely autonomously for more than 24 hours.
