Patrick Shepherd

Chief Sales Officer Milrem Robotics

I work as the Chief Sales Officer at Milrem Robotics, where I foster strategic sales initiatives, drive business development efforts, and nurture valuable client relationships. My role entails administering and managing cross-functional collaboration within the organization and ensuring seamless coordination between sales, marketing, and product development teams. With a solid foundation in strategic development, I draw from my extensive 16-year tenure at Lockheed Martin, where I held key leadership roles on multiple ground vehicle programs, including the Amphibious Combat Vehicle (ACV) and multiple International Vehicle Programs. During my tenure, I demonstrated excellence in strategic planning, particularly in the domains of international business and program management.

My career is further enriched by my service as a combat veteran in the US Army, where I honed leadership skills, adaptability, and a results-oriented mindset. I was honored to receive the Bronze Star for my exceptional service in Iraq as a member of the 172nd Stryker Brigade, having completed over 500 combat missions. This military background enhances my professional credibility and equips me to thrive in high-pressure and demanding environments. I approach challenges with a deep sense of purpose, leveraging the invaluable lessons learned from my military service and my extensive industry experience to drive comprehensive success in my civilian career.
