that I left Tesla several years later in 2020 , they had grown from 6,000 employees to 45,000 . I knew that it was time for a change . Coincidentally , my friend , fellow UVM alumnus and Tesla colleague , Sean Donovan , had already started working at BETA Technologies . When I heard about the work that BETA Technologies was doing in Vermont through Sean , I became increasingly interested . Eventually , I got to the point where I couldn ’ t resist , and I made the decision to apply to join the BETA Technologies team .

Q : How would you describe the nature of the work that you do at BETA Technologies ?
A : My job is to build our capability to effectively manufacture the ALIA-250c aircraft . We have a team of incredible engineers here who are working on the math and design work that goes into building a safe electric aircraft , but manufacturing the aircraft on a large scale is a different matter entirely . You can have the best design in the world , but if you can ’ t put your aircraft together in a way that is high-quality and high-safety , it ’ s not going anywhere . My goal is to make BETA ’ s transition into manufacturing as seamless and effective as possible .
