Listen "Nearmap"
Episode Synopsis
Nearmap is a name near and dear to our hearts in geospatial. They were a rocketship as a stock before Thoma Bravo took them private end of 2022 (https://www.thomabravo.com/press-releases/thoma-bravo-completes-acquisition-of-nearmap-ltd). Chris Sams is Government Product Solutions Leader at Nearmap. I met him in January at Geospatial Risk Summit. He has some great commentary on how an earth observation company assists government clients to monitor climate hazards, natural disasters and their impact. He also provides insight on what the DOGE cuts mean for industry. Most importantly, however, Chris is the man who won my impromptu GIS HYPE MAN competition on LinkedIn a while back, showing what it takes to get a role at the best aerial imaging company in our industry.Thanks Chris.
