XTI Aerospace has appointed Jeremy Schneiderman as interim chief executive and Jonathan Ornstein as interim chairman after Scott Pomeroy stepped down from those roles and as a director, effective 17 August. The move reshapes the leadership of the Dallas-based aerospace and drone company as it continues to focus on commercial, industrial and defence markets.
Schneiderman currently leads Drone Nerds, a subsidiary of XTI Aerospace, and the board plans to negotiate a definitive employment agreement for him to take the CEO role on a non-interim basis. Pomeroy’s departure comes amid a board-led governance review, while the company seeks a more streamlined management structure.
The transition places interim leadership at the top of a business whose drone strategy is central to its near-term commercial plans. Ornstein’s election as interim chairman gives the board additional continuity during the handover, while Schneiderman’s role links the group’s corporate leadership more closely with its operating subsidiary.
