About Us
EchoTwin AI is the intelligence layer powering self-healing cities—urban systems that not only detect issues in real time, but also trigger automated corrective actions or surface prioritized insights through agentic workflows. This represents a fundamental shift from reactive governance to proactive, adaptive urban management. The result? Cleaner, safer, smarter cities that manage themselves.
Our platform combines artificial intelligence, digital twins, and spatial analytics to help municipalities and infrastructure operators monitor assets, enforce compliance, and optimize urban operations. By integrating edge-based visual intelligence with real-time data and geospatial reasoning, EchoTwin AI delivers continuous oversight and faster, more intelligent responses to complex urban challenges.
With deployments across North America and the Middle East—including flagship projects in New York City, Abu Dhabi, and Riyadh—we partner with forward-thinking governments and innovators to build resilient, adaptive infrastructure for the cities of tomorrow.
Role Overview
The VP of Business Development will play a critical leadership role in defining and executing EchoTwin’s growth strategy. You’ll identify and secure strategic deals with government agencies, infrastructure operators, OEMs, and global system integrators. This is a highly cross-functional role that works closely with product, marketing, operations, and executive leadership to scale our presence across priority regions—starting with the GCC and North America.
