Oskar Heiwe
Oskar has over 23 years of design experience with Lithium batteries for UAV applications. He was one of the first in Europe to be bullish on the future of electric flight, and it's this DNA that led him to co-found NAD in 2023.

Henric Hallgren
Whether it's producing high end models for SAAB, building real estate models for Stockholm's many contractors, or prototyping functional products, Henric loves to get his hands dirty. Design, build, test, repeat.
