Repositioning and company direction
Repositioned Pollentia from “electric boat company” into an AI Marine Technology company building a modular intelligence layer that lives on the vessel, the “AI Co-Captain,” covering navigation support, collision avoidance, diagnostics, predictive maintenance, autonomy support, and OTA software updates.
Separated the business into clear product lanes, Recreational, Commercial, Defense, with defense work moved under Thalos Industries for cleaner messaging, cleaner customer targeting, and cleaner IP + contracting boundaries.
Built an internal department and operating structure that supports scale, including Systems (AI, Software, Diagnostics, Embedded Infrastructure & Cybersecurity), Engineering (Mechanical, Electrical, Naval, Hydrodynamics), Manufacturing, Product Design/Integration, Sales/Dealer/Fleet strategy, Customer Experience, HR/Operations, Finance/Legal/Compliance, Partnerships/Gov Affairs, and PR/Media.
