Rafal Modrzewski is the Co-Founder & CEO of ICEYE. ICEYE owns and operates the world’s largest constellation of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellites. The company provides timely and reliable Earth observation data as well as natural catastrophe solutions for companies and governments. ICEYE is the first company that has successfully miniaturized a SAR satellite, making it possible to launch more units to reliably image any location on Earth, every few hours, every day. With its growing SAR satellite constellation, ICEYE offers its partners unprecedented satellite imaging capabilities, accessing any area of interest faster, more frequently, and at a lower cost.
Since co-founding the project with Pekka Laurila in 2012, which became the company in 2014, Modrzewski has been responsible for overseeing the organization’s growth and implementing ICEYE’s overall vision. He brings with him deep domain expertise in SAR engineering, and he has received the 2018 Forbes 30 under 30 Technology award based on ICEYE’s world-first achievements.
