Teledyne Optech hired Martin Flood as director of business development to expand the reach of the Teledyne Optech product portfolio to new global markets and identify and oversee the execution of new business opportunities. Mr. Flood started his career at Optech as a project scientist in 1991 and led the team that produced the first airborne Lidar terrain mapping (ALTM) sensors.

After leaving in 1997 and working for several mapping service companies, he joined the GeoCue Group as business development manager in 2005. A major focus of his work was identifying new and emerging markets for LiDAR-related mapping services and helping customers adopt established best-practices for new business models.
