Former Tesla Head of Investor Relations Martin Viecha Joins Skyryse as Strategic Advisor
EL SEGUNDO, CA — Skyryse®, the company simplifying flight through the world’s first universal flight operating system, SkyOS™, today announced that Martin Viecha, former Head of Investor Relations at Tesla, has joined the company as a strategic advisor.
Viecha brings more than a decade of experience scaling investor communications for one of the world’s most transformative transportation companies. At Tesla, he played a key role in shaping the company’s capital markets strategy as it redefined the future of mobility.
“Martin’s insight into disruptive technologies and his ability to connect investors to our vision will be invaluable as we enter our next phase of growth,” said Dr. Mark Groden, Founder and CEO of Skyryse. “As we pioneer a simpler, safer, and more accessible future for aviation, Martin’s experience will help us tell our story to a global audience.”
Skyryse recently began the final phase of flight testing for SkyOS and continues to grow its ecosystem of top-tier advisors from aviation, defense, and technology. Viecha joins a growing roster of strategic leaders, including former FAA Chief Counsel Marc Nichols and retired Lieutenant Generals Ross Coffman and Karsten Heckl.
“I’ve met many companies and founders over the years, but Skyryse embodies the qualities I saw at Tesla more than any other,” said Martin Viecha. “The mission, the team, the lean mindset—it was clear to me early on that being part of this story would be a privilege.”
