Former Silvus Technologies and DTC executives strengthen Doodle Labs’ commercial leadership as demand grows for resilient connectivity in autonomous systems
AUSTIN, TX, UNITED STATES, September 22, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Doodle Labs, a global leader in connectivity for autonomous systems, today announced the expansion of its sales leadership team with two recent appointments. The additions come as drones and other autonomous systems form a core part of real-world deployment, raising the stakes for reliable, resilient connectivity.
Doodle Labs develops resilient wireless networking solutions that keep drones, robots and other unmanned systems connected over long distances. Its technology is designed to maintain reliable connections in challenging RF environments affected by interference, jamming, and electronic warfare.
As unmanned systems take on more complex operational roles, Doodle Labs has experienced significant growth and increased engagement with autonomous systems manufacturers and defense organizations across a range of platforms and geographies. Andrew Johnson joins as Vice President of International Sales, bringing extensive experience in wireless networking and defense technology. Prior to joining Doodle Labs, Johnson spent over a decade at Codan Communications, a DTC company, including five years as Vice President of Sales for EMEA. Johnson has a strong track record of working directly with customers and partners to solve complex communications challenges in mission-critical and battlefield environments. In his new role, he will lead Doodle Labs’ international sales strategy and support deployments of unmanned systems and tactical applications across global markets.
David Rodgers, Vice President of Sales, North America brings extensive leadership experience across the defense technology, C5ISR and unmanned systems markets. Most recently, Rodgers served as Vice President of Global Sales at Ultra I&C, following more than two years at Silvus Technologies, where he led sales efforts supporting the U.S. Department of Defense and unmanned systems markets. At Doodle Labs, Rodgers will lead sales strategy and customer engagement as the company expands its work with defense organizations and autonomous systems manufacturers in North America and internationally. His experience building high-performing teams and developing strategic relationships across complex defense markets will support Doodle Labs’ continued growth as a provider of resilient connectivity for mission-critical autonomous systems.
