Jenn Player

I bring together emerging autonomous technologies and real-world aviation operations by aligning engineering innovation with regulatory and certification pathways.

Over the years, I’ve built and led what’s widely considered the top regulatory team in the small drone industry. I work closely with operators, regulators, and standards organizations to define and execute approval pathways for complex operations at scale, helping shape what the future of aviation actually looks like in practice. My experience spans global UAS regulatory frameworks and airworthiness acceptance, and I’ve had the opportunity to contribute to industry leadership as Vice Chair of the Commercial Drone Alliance and as a Subcommittee Chair on the ASTM F38 Executive Committee. I’m also an FAA-certified Private Pilot and Remote Pilot, which keeps my work grounded in aviation safety and operational reality.
