VP Government Business Development - APAC

Tomorrow.io is a weather intelligence and climate resilience company that provides a comprehensive platform combining space-based sensing, artificial intelligence, and sector-specific analytics to help organizations make data-driven decisions in response to weather and climate conditions. The company operates its own first-of-its-kind commercial weather-sensing satellite constellation, enabling cloud-penetrating atmospheric observation on a continuous and global scale. Its platform delivers hyperlocal weather forecasts, real-time data, historical weather analysis, and AI-powered decision support across industries including aviation, insurance, energy, rail, trucking, manufacturing, and government defense. Tomorrow.io's mission centers on building weather resilience for both organizations and individuals by transforming raw atmospheric data into actionable intelligence. The company addresses climate-related operational risks by offering agentic AI tools such as its Shield Agent suite, which helps insurance carriers anticipate peril-driven losses, accelerate claims verification, and manage catastrophe response. By fusing proprietary satellite data with global datasets and adaptive modeling, Tomorrow.io aims to reduce the economic and human costs associated with extreme weather events, directly contributing to climate adaptation efforts. What distinguishes Tomorrow.io is its end-to-end, space-powered AI architecture — from owning and operating its own satellite constellation to delivering enterprise-grade weather APIs, mobile consumer applications, and embedded forecast widgets. The company also maintains a philanthropic arm, TomorrowNow.org, focused on climate resilience for vulnerable communities. Founded in the United States, Tomorrow.io has grown into a globally trusted platform used by leading organizations worldwide seeking to operationalize weather intelligence.
