Blair LaCorte Named President of AEye
Summary
LaCorte has run large, fast growing global corporations and held numerous executive and general management positions in both private and public technology companies. Prior to AEye, he was the global president of Production Resource Group (PRG), the world’s largest live event technology company, the CEO of XOJET, which under his leadership became the fastest growing company in private aviation, and an operating partner at TPG, a premier private equity firm with over $91B in global investments, where he co-founded the TPG growth fund. AEye’s iDAR is an artificial perception system that physically fuses a unique, agile LiDAR with a hi-res camera to create a new data type called Dynamic Vixels. In performance tests validated by VSI Labs, AEye’s iDAR acquired and tracked targets at more than 1000 meters and at scan rates exceeding 100 Hz - a major breakthrough in speed and long-range threat detection. AEye’s use of Biomimicry is more fully explored by LaCorte and Dr. James Doty, world renowned neurosurgeon and clinical professor in the Department of Neurosurgery at Stanford University in a white paper available at aeye.ai.
