Founder & CEO / BEYONDx Advisors, LLC
Jay Allan Shears
Based in Durango, Colorado.
Jay is an innovation executive, inventor and aviation-safety leader whose career includes roles at Honeywell Aerospace, General Electric, Samsung, Sony and Seiko Epson.
His work spans imaging, biometrics, aviation and autonomous systems. He holds multiple U.S. patents and brings a commercialization perspective to the question of what a technology can credibly do next.
He serves as Executive Director of the qX Alliance and as an FAA Safety Team Representative, and holds FAA commercial pilot and flight instructor credentials.
At BEYONDx, that background informs an advisory approach: understand the operating context, examine the evidence and make the next responsibility clear.
Professional history and credentials describe Jay’s background. They do not imply endorsement by former employers or government agencies.
The culture of the work
Ambitious thinking.
Careful claims.
Ask a better question.
Make the decision and intended use specific enough that evidence can help.
Keep the limits visible.
Separate what is known, demonstrated, assumed and still unresolved.
Make the handoff useful.
Leave the next person with the context, record and responsibility they need.
