Will Marshall
Co Founder and CEO, Planet Labs
Will Marshall works at the intersection of data, technology and real world decision making. As Co Founder and CEO of Planet Labs, he leads a company that uses satellites and AI to capture and analyse daily images of the Earth, turning vast amounts of data into usable insight.
His perspective is grounded in how information moves from observation to action. He focuses on how organisations use continuous data to monitor change, identify risk and respond in real time, and how AI enables that shift from periodic reporting to constant awareness. His work reflects how decisions are increasingly shaped by what can be seen and interpreted at scale.
