The Advanced Air Mobility Institute has appointed Yemaya Bordain, PhD, as the Vice President of Technology to the Board of Directors. 

Drawing upon her experience and expertise in aviation technology, Dr. Bordain brings a forward-thinking perspective to her new role, ready to spearhead innovation and influence the trajectory of Advanced Air Mobility (AAM).

Dr. Bordain currently serves as the President of the Americas at Switzerland-based Daedalean, a company pioneering AI-powered flight control and navigation systems to provide pilot assistance today and enable autonomously flying aircraft in the future. Since joining Daedalean in August 2022, she has been instrumental in launching its presence in the Americas and overseeing a portfolio that encompasses innovation, business development, product management, marketing, communications, and partnerships.

Dr. Bordain said; “I am grateful to join such an esteemed and visionary organization. As technology in aviation progresses at increasing speeds, it is crucial to take the longview on how those changes will have an impact on the world. The AAM Institute provides a forum to explore and, indeed, to create a future equal to its potential. Foremost on my mind is how we can ensure safety, promote personal connection, and prove the efficiencies of Advanced Air Mobility by use of the novel hardware and software now poised to revolutionize transportation.”

Dan Sloat, Founder and President of the Institute, added; “Dr. Bordain will be an incredible asset to our team. In particular, her expertise in the field of autonomous aviation will help guide the development of our new human rights multi-stakeholder initiative. More details to come on that effort.”
