We are AETOS.
In March of 2021, Aetos was born.
Named after the Greek word for “eagle” (αετός), we believe that clear sight is the medium for which learning, navigation, safety, and collaboration are most powerfully conducted. We’ve embarked on the path to take asset visibility to new heights – particularly within the realm of facilities and operations management. After all, if a single picture is worth 1,000 words, what is a fully-immersive 3D scan worth?
Getting early adopters such as SLGreen and Portman Holdings helped Aetos accelerate market fit and product development. The company quickly grew across the United States ranging from the landscape of Alaska to the heart of Atlanta. Project managers, senior engineers, and curriculum developers alike have sought out our services, with the specific intention of using Aetos as their ideal platform for visualizing their built environment, conducting site-specific training, collaborating within their organization, and capturing vital data for their operational needs.
Today, Aetos helps engineers and staff members around the world better see their facilities – bringing a visual medium to an organization’s critical spaces, equipment database, and best practices for technical services. Our software allows employees to work much safer, access building-specific procedures and data faster, and truly manage their operations like never before.
If you’re looking to visibly capture your facilities, revolutionize and simplify your maintenance protocols, upgrade your onboarding experience, and digitize your data, come soar with Aetos.
Our vision is to revolutionize the built environment by using 3D scanning technology to enhance how facilities train their staff, manage their assets, and collaborate online.
Meet the team.

Meet Aqila, our strategic administrator who joins us with over a decade of experience navigating early-stage startups and venture capital in the tech sector. In short, Aqila is the linchpin that keeps the office of the CEO in top form. She enjoys staying up to date on relevant current events -- particularly if it involves a Chicago sports team or throwing a birthday bash for one of her two littles. Aqila is a natural fit with Aetos due to the fact that 1) Both are passionate about innovation, and 2) Both names translate to “eagle.” 🦅

Christian is our Junior Full-Stack Developer, benefiting the team as a huge contributor to finding and fixing any bugs that crawl into our platform.

Meet Jordan, our Senior Manager of Business Development. A good word to describe him would be “Active” - a term you could apply anywhere for Jordan. Active in building relationships, managing accounts, and in helping others (and Aetos!) achieve desired goals. What about when he’s not on the clock? Jordan stays - you guessed it - active with all sorts of personal hobbies, ranging from music to sports to gardening to gaming to hiking. We couldn’t ask for a better teammate!
Yee-haw! Antonio is our newest full-time AE (and part-time cowboy). He brings deep sales experience and is all about teamwork, hard work, and staying focused on getting deals done. When Antonio is out of the office, he’s likely on the soccer field, pickleball court, or anything else outdoors – hiking, mountain biking, on the lake, or riding his trusty steed! 🤠

As one of the only current PNW natives, he is adamant about using his education background to help others learn more about our platform. Mitch is a friend to friendly competition – down to play a round of cards, board games, cycling, “old guy soccer”, or anything involving a round object.
