[About US]

Our Team

Every day at Shield AI, brilliant, driven and hardworking teammates define state-of-the-art and contribute to a mission with massive impact.

  • [AI Systems and integration]

    Ellen Cappo

    “Every goal our company sets out to accomplish is supported by integrity.”

    At Shield AI, Ellen is tasked with the unique challenge of adapting robot behaviors to facilitate teamwork. For Ellen, teaming robots is an exciting and distinctive goal as she uses human experts to build artificial intelligence — to design tests, review data and come up with solutions to complex problems.

  • [Chief technology officer]

    Nate Michael

    “Excellence is the bar set high enough that we reach for it but can never grasp it. And as we reach for that high bar — continuously growing, learning, innovating, adapting, and evolving — the bar moves.”

  • [ENGINEERING FELLOW]

    Chris Barngrover

    “On the days with the most pressure, I think about what an honor it is to have this opportunity to do something meaningful.”

“There are many ways to conduct ourselves, but we choose to conduct ourselves in a manner that is moral, good, and of high standards to leave the world better than it is — simply because it is the right thing to do.”

[Brandon Tseng, President & Cofounder]

  • [Chief Financial Officer]

    Kingsley Afemikhe

    “At Shield AI, questions are actively encouraged as we continually seek new knowledge to fulfill our mission.”

    I remember being a child in Africa looking at the stars, wondering what made them shine. That curiosity led me to science and to study engineering, and then on to a career in finance. I yearn to learn and grow each day, and Shield AI cultivates an environment where that aspiration becomes a reality.

  • [Program Manager]

    Renee Hubener

    “One aspect of my work that I find profoundly rewarding is the opportunity to support Marine Corps operations directly, especially after being disconnected from the Marines for almost two decades.”

    As a distinguished U.S. Marine Corps veteran, Renee transitioned from working on the complex avionics of F/A-18 aircraft to masterfully managing a Global V-BAT Fleet. Currently, she thrives in her role as a program manager for contractor-owned, contractor-operated (COCO) deployment operations, liaising directly with Shield AI’s field support representatives and military customers.
