Kent Ferguson joins Wing to lead accelerated partnership expansion

To further meet the increasing customer demand for fast, reliable drone delivery, Wing appointed Kent Ferguson as Head of Partnerships. Kent brings a wealth of leadership experience in establishing and scaling early-stage businesses across the tech, retail, restaurant, and last-mile logistics sectors.

Kent has a proven track record of developing and executing successful partnerships. His experience spans the full lifecycle of business development, including establishing both commercial and product-enabling relationships. Before joining Wing, Kent spent 5 years developing partnerships and new business lines with DoorDash, one of Wing’s current partners. In his time there, he contributed to the company’s growth in the evolving last-mile logistics space. Before DoorDash, Kent spent 8 years as the head of emerging business development for Google Shopping, where he spearheaded numerous go-to-market and product strategies for novel business lines.

Kent’s expertise and background make him a perfect fit for advancing Wing’s innovative drone delivery solutions—he has a deep understanding of how strategic partnerships drive growth and expand market reach, and extensive experience in developing and executing business expansion plans and rollouts. He’ll be an invaluable resource, especially as Wing expands operations and brings drone delivery to more customers across the US in the coming months.

In his new role, Kent is looking forward to strengthening existing partnerships while expanding Wing’s healthcare, retail, and restaurant delivery footprint throughout the globe, listening to customers to inform how the company can meet even more of their needs. At the intersection of where Wing has historically proven value (delivering the things customers need now) and the opportunities aligned with its core foundations (safety and scalability), Kent is excited to help Wing reach its fullest potential.
