Damian List
Head of Infrastructure Development
Damian brings a diverse and impressive background in the Aviation, Engineering and Construction industries to the VertiLink Group.
A New Zealand Licenced Building Practitioner (LBP), Damian’s earlier years were spent as a technical engineer with the New Zealand Army. His 9 years of service to the New Zealand Defence Force saw him deployed throughout the Pacific on humanitarian relief missions, where he could see huge potential use cases for remotely piloted and autonomously flown aircraft.
A Commercial Pilot Licence holder and keen enthusiast of vintage aircraft, drones and ‘all things that fly’, Damian brings a broad skillset to the VertiLink business. In addition to holding a CAA Part 102 Unmanned aircraft pilot qualification, Damian maintains his Licenced Building Practitioner status and is the CEO/Founder of an Auckland based construction group.
Damian has a vast network within the construction and engineering industries, many years of business management experience and firmly believes that the integration of Advanced Air Mobility into everyday life will be a gamechanger for the people and industries of New Zealand.
