Billy Thalheimer

CEO and Co-Founder of REGENT

Billy is the CEO and Co-Founder of REGENT. He leads a successful team who have accumulated a commercial backlog of Seaglider vessel orders worth more than $10 billion, secured a $15 million U.S. Marine Corps contract, and raised over $100 million from world-class investors. Billy has a background in flight physics and aircraft design through graduate engineering at MIT.

REGENT is pioneering the future of maritime mobility through the development and manufacturing of Seaglider™ vessels — high-speed hydrofoiling wing-in-ground effect (WIG) craft that operate over the water within a wingspan of the surface, combining the speed of an aircraft with the convenience of a boat. A dual-use company headquartered in Rhode Island, REGENT has secured global commercial orders valued at more than $10 billion from leading airline and ferry operators around the world, as well as contracts with the U.S. Marine Corps. REGENT has raised more than $100 million from investors including 8090 Industries, Founders Fund, Japan Airlines, and Lockheed Martin. Learn more at www.regentcraft.com
