About Jason Close

As an accomplished energy and technology executive, I’ve navigated diverse landscapes — from product management to international sales, business development, and software engineering. As the Vice President of Autonomous Software Solutions at Nauticus Robotics, I’m thrilled to be at the forefront of revolutionizing autonomous technology. Why Nauticus? My mission at Nauticus? To drive the blue economy forward by transforming how we operate AUVs (Autonomous Underwater Vehicles) and ROVs (Remotely Operated Vehicles). The energy and ocean industries offer immense opportunities for optimization through automation. At Nauticus, we possess the intellectual property, cutting-edge hardware, a robust autonomous software platform, and the talented team needed to commercialize high-value solutions for our end customers. Together, we’re creating hardware and a software platform that will redefine how unmanned underwater robots navigate and explore the depths. Passion and Purpose: I’m passionate about developing innovative technical solutions that address real-world challenges. Whether it’s streamlining processes, enhancing efficiency, or solving complex problems, I thrive on making an impact. My goal is to create a market-led culture that drives strategic product innovation and, ultimately, revenue growth. I remain actively engaged in the Calgary startup and tech communities, fostering innovation and growth. Let’s connect!
