ZeroEyes announces two executive promotions

ZeroEyes, Inc., creators of the only AI-based platform focused on weapons detection that holds the US Department of Homeland Security SAFETY Act Designation, has announced the promotion of JT Wilkins to Senior Vice President of Government Solutions and Dustin Kisling to Senior Vice President of Strategy. These promotions position ZeroEyes for accelerated growth of its first-of-a-kind AI weapons detection platform into government markets and through targeted strategic partnerships.

Focused on the government market, I am working tirelessly to ensure those who protect us abroad and work to keep our country running effectively are safe and secure here at home.”

I look forward to supporting the mission and company growth and ultimately bringing our technology to even more customers in need of a security solution.”
