Since inception, the NLX Advisory Board has provided us with important and timely counsel. We value their input. They have helped us navigate our early-stage growth as well as given the NLX engineering team a chance to focus almost exclusively on building and delivering a conversational AI platform capable of powering conversational experiences everywhere.

As we enter our next stage of growth, the NLX Advisory Board is being expanded. We are adding more market-facing and growth specialization to augment our strong technical foundations.

It's with great delight that we are able to announce Rob Meyerson, former President of Blue Origin, as our newest Advisory Board Member.

Rob Meyerson is one of a select group of highly-experienced business professionals to bring their business acumen and industry knowledge to NLX, helping us accelerate our go-to-market efforts and advising on pathways to future growth. A heavy-hitter in his own right, Rob understands the challenge of growing a technical organization into a market-facing one.

Rob Meyerson is the founder and CEO of Delalune Space, a management consulting company focused on the aerospace, mobility, technology and investment sectors. Rob is the former President of Blue Origin where he oversaw the steady growth of Blue Origin from 2003 to 2018. He built the company from its founding into a more than 1500-person organization.

Prior to joining Blue, Rob was a Senior Program Manager at Kistler Aerospace, where he was a member of the leadership team developing a two-stage reusable launch vehicle. Rob began his career as an aerodynamicist at NASA's Johnson Space Center (JSC). Beyond his professional accreditations in aerospace and industrial engineering, Rob is an AIAA Fellow, a Trustee at the Museum of Flight, and a member of the University of Michigan College of Engineering Leadership Advisory Board.

We had the pleasure of Rob's mentorship at C5 Accelerate over the Summer and feel fortunate to be receiving his continued guidance. Rob shares our interest in the future of Conversational AI and is excited about how NLX can shape that future.

We warmly welcome Rob Meyerson and the technical, market-facing and company growth experience he brings to NLX. We are sure that adding his strengths to the NLX Advisory Board will provide the guidance necessary for us to expand and strengthen NLX in those key directions.
