Jack Withinshaw [ARCHIVE]: Why Alauda Aeronautics are Creating 'Formula 1 for the Skies'

On today’s episode, we revisit a conversation with Jack
Withinshaw, Chief Commercial Officer at Alauda Aeronautics and
CCO and Co-Founder of Airspeeder. 


Jack’s started out his career with giant advertising agencies
like MediaCom and Val Morgan before transitioning to work with
various startups across in industries like logistics,
recruitment, and retail.  


He joined Alauda Aeronautics in 2019 where he co-founded
Airspeeder, alongside Aluda’s founder, Matt Pearson.


During this conversation, we discuss what drove him to, together
with Matt, to start a racing series, as well as his aspirations
more broadly for the adoption of eVOTL vehicles and why he
believes now is the time to finally deliver on the promise of
flying cars.
