Send us Fan Mail We may be building something entirely new - a kind of digital nervous system for the planet, where satellites and AI are constantly sensing and interpreting what’s happening on Earth. Sean Donegan is the Founder and CEO of Satelytics ( ), a pioneer in applying artificial intelligence to high-resolution satellite imagery to monitor and protect critical infrastructure at global scale. With more than three decades of experience in enterprise software and predictive analytics, Sean has built a career at the intersection of data, automation, and real-world industrial problem solving. Long before “GeoAI” became a buzzword, Sean recognized the potential of combining remote sensing with advanced analytics to deliver continuous, actionable intelligence across vast physical assets - pipelines, power grids, and water systems that were historically difficult to monitor in real time. Under his leadership, Satelytics has helped move satellite-based monitoring from experimental pilot programs into core operational systems, enabling energy and utility companies to detect methane leaks, identify environmental risks, and prevent costly infrastructure failures before they escalate.
