Sameer Rao has joined Hermeus as our Chief Financial Officer.

Why this matters for talent

Hermeus bringing on a CFO with 30 years of hardware-scaling experience points to a company preparing for a significant growth phase, likely tied to capital raises or defense contract execution following their Mach 1.6 milestone. CFO hires at this stage often precede headcount expansion across engineering, program management, and supply chain. Watch for Hermeus to post senior technical and operations roles in the coming months.
