Advanced Navigation appointed Maximilian Doemling as Head of Product Management. 

Advanced Navigation Chief Executive Officer Chris Shaw said, “Max’s arrival comes at a pivotal time for Advanced Navigation. His strategic direction and extensive experience in shaping product ecosystems are the exact skillset required to expand our portfolio and meet the demands of the growing autonomous systems market.
