About

I grew Yahoo! Maps to 90% market share before Google took over with big investments. That taught me how costly traditional mapping can be. Now, with physical AI, I see a chance to rethink maps self-driving cars, smart navigation, better fleet logistics. As CEO and Co-founder of Bee Maps and Hivemapper, we’ve created the fastest-growing map project ever, using AI, real-time data, and edge computing to change how maps are made and build an open mapping network. Drivers use the Bee device to map for the Hivemapper Network, earning HONEY cryptocurrency as a reward. Bee Maps customers get accurate, global map data to improve their mapping, navigation, and self-driving systems. Previously I co-founded Gigwalk, turning mobile devices into a “second paycheck” collecting location data for the biggest mapping companies.
