Karyn Hayes-Ryan has been appointed as Director of Kleos’ US subsidiary. Karyn is highly experienced in ISR gaining knowledge as a former intelligence community and Defence senior executive.

Karyn said “A US entity in the world’s largest defence market allows Kleos to work closely with Government Agencies to improve the US’s international maritime surveillance and reconnaissance capabilities, supporting its defence services both locally and abroad. A local enterprise with appropriate security clearance, innovation and technical capability also provides opportunities to collaborate on funded projects and defence entities within the national security framework.”
