Andreas Neuman, founder and CEO of UAV-IQ, has led the company through its transition from a consultancy focusing on unmanned aviation to a global precision agriculture service that leverages its expertise in remote sensing technology. A graduate and Alumni President of UCLA Anderson’s Executive MBA program’s class of 2014, Andreas planned and launched the company out of the program’s Venture Initiation track along with two of his classmates.
He is an experienced project administrator who has supported multidisciplinary teams and senior level
managers and was routinely entrusted with safeguarding lives, assets valued at over $200 million and
the completion of multi-million-dollar projects.
Prior to founding the company, he was a senior Air Force officer with a successful 11½ -year career that
included project managing the design and implementation of emerging communications and remotely
piloted vehicle technology on a global scale. While serving, he transitioned from manned aviation where
he was a KC-135 instructor pilot to the Global Hawk program where he served as the Assistant Director
of Operations. As ADO of the only operational RQ-4 Squadron, he was responsible for planning and
coordinating worldwide Global Hawk operations directly supporting troops on the ground as well as the
