Kevin Kawasaki, Global Head of Business Development at Palantir

“Barrett’s appointment as President of SurfOS is an important step as SurfOS moves into commercial deployment. I’ve worked closely with Barrett, and he understands both the operational complexity of aviation and the opportunity to apply software and AI at scale. With the Palantir partnership and the right team in place, SurfOS is ready to turn its early momentum into meaningful, long-term commercial contracts and make SurfOS the go-to platform for the regional aviation industry.”

Barrett Brown, President of SurfOS

“The next several quarters will be focused on growing a business that has already proven early commercial success. We have a clear set of priorities, a growing customer base and pipeline, and talented engineering and commercial teams. At Palantir, I helped take enterprise software into new markets, and I know what it takes to turn early customers into a large, recurring revenue base.”

Shawn Pelsinger, Chairman of the Board of Surf Air Mobility

“SurfOS is designed to bring a fragmented industry onto a single operating system, creating a software business that becomes more valuable as it grows. Building on Palantir's platforms gives SurfOS the data and AI infrastructure to support a large, fragmented, and growing industry. With our accelerated pace of new software contracts, we are in a strong position to scale.”
