LONDON & NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–
\nVertical Aerospace (\u201cVertical\u201d or the \u201cCompany\u201d) (NYSE: EVTL), a global aerospace and technology company pioneering electric aviation, today announced the appointment of Andrew Teich to its Board of Directors, effective from today.<\/p>\n

\"Vertical<\/p>\n

Vertical Aerospace appoints defence technology pioneer and former FLIR CEO Andrew Teich to its Board of Directors<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\nMr. Teich brings more than 40 years of experience developing and commercialising advanced technologies for military, industrial and commercial customers. He spent nearly two decades in senior leadership at FLIR Systems (now Teledyne FLIR LLC), culminating as President and CEO from 2013 to 2017. During that time, FLIR grew from a market capitalisation of approximately $60 million to more than $6 billion and became a global leader in advanced sensing and imaging systems.<\/p>\n

\nA named inventor on over 50 U.S. and international patents, Mr. Teich brings extensive experience in U.S. Department of War programmes, advanced sensing technologies, artificial intelligence, autonomous systems and UAV technologies, all of which are directly relevant to Vertical\u2019s expanding defence and dual-use applications. He currently serves as a consultant to the U.S. Department of War.<\/p>\n

\nHe also has significant corporate growth, transformation and transaction experience, having acquired and integrated more than 35 technology businesses during his career.<\/p>\n

\nMr. Teich joined FLIR in 1999 after the company acquired Inframetrics Inc., where he grew revenue threefold.<\/p>\n

\nHe currently chairs the boards of two public companies, sensing company Sensata Technologies (NYSE: ST) and technology provider Resideo Technologies (NYSE: REZI).<\/p>\n

\nMr. Teich joins recently appointed Chair, Fabrice Br\u00e9gier, former Airbus Commercial Aircraft CEO, and directors Clyde Woltman, former Leonardo Helicopters U.S. CEO, and Marc Fontaine, former Airbus executive and current Helsing France CEO. The appointments strengthen Vertical\u2019s leadership as it advances Valo towards certification and commercial operations and progresses hybrid-electric, defence and other dual-use applications.<\/p>\n

\nAs previously announced on 24 September 2026, Vertical has retained Jefferies LLC as its financial advisor in connection with its review of strategic alternatives, including potential strategic and financial partnerships to advance the next stage of development.<\/p>\n

Stuart Simpson, CEO of Vertical Aerospace, said:<\/b><\/p>\n

\n\u201cAndy understands both what advanced technology can do and what defence customers need it to deliver. He has taken innovations from development into demanding operational environments, experience that will help us make better decisions about where to take our technology and how to turn its potential into commercial opportunities.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cWith Fabrice, Clyde, Marc and Andy, we have brought together leaders who have delivered aircraft programmes, built technology businesses and served military customers. Their experience is invaluable as we bring our products to market. Andy\u2019s decision to join, following these recent appointments, says a great deal about how people who have built and led major aerospace, defence and technology businesses view Vertical. Each of them sees the growth potential in our aircraft, our technology and our team.\u201d<\/p>\n

Andrew Teich, Non-Executive Director of Vertical Aerospace, said:<\/b><\/p>\n

\n\u201cMy experience at FLIR taught me to look beyond the development milestones to what proprietary technology can deliver in operational service. That is what attracts me to Vertical: a highly capable team, Valo\u2019s certification programme targeting the highest safety standard in the eVTOL category, and an architecture designed to accommodate a hybrid-electric powertrain, opening up clear defence and dual-use applications. I believe the market has yet to recognise the full value of that combination.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cMy immediate focus will be working with Fabrice, the Board and the leadership team, alongside Jefferies, to bring in the right strategic or financial partners to support Vertical through certification and into commercialisation.\u201d<\/p>\n
