SensusQ, the leading Estonian defence-tech company focusing on developing an artificial intelligence-based system that combines information gathered from different sources into clearly understandable information, is proud to announce the appointment of CIA-alumn Stephanie Usry Bellistri to its Supervisory Board.

With over 20 years of experience in the CIA, where she led global counterterrorism and counterproliferation operations, Bellistri brings unparalleled expertise to SensusQ during a pivotal phase of its expansion. Her experience as a liaison to the U.S. military and her operational roles in technology start-ups focused on defense and intelligence make her an invaluable addition to the company's leadership.

In her new role, Bellistri will support SensusQ’s strategic planning efforts, particularly as the company seeks to expand into the U.S. market. Her extensive background in intelligence, counterterrorism, and defense, along with her close collaboration with key partners in these sectors, will play a crucial role in aligning SensusQ’s solutions with the evolving needs of military and intelligence operators.

"I am excited to join SensusQ and contribute to its mission of transforming the way intelligence is delivered to decision-makers on the front lines," said Stephanie Usry Bellistri. "SensusQ has the potential to radically transform the pace and quality of operations by ensuring leadership and front lines have access to critical information that accelerates and improves the quality of decisions. Estonia is a key U.S. partner in pursuit of global national security objectives with well-aligned democratic values, and I'm excited to lend my support to these goals."

During her career, Bellistri has led complex counterterrorism initiatives and global operations aimed at protecting U.S. national security. Her operational leadership roles in tech-focused start-ups have given her deep insight into integrating innovative technology into the national security framework. Bellistri’s experience and perspective will be pivotal as SensusQ continues to scale its advanced solutions.

"We are thrilled to welcome Stephanie to our Supervisory Board," said Marko Kaseleht, co-founder and CEO of SensusQ. "Her decades of experience with the CIA, combined with her strategic vision, will be invaluable as we expand worldwide and continue developing our advanced technologies for the defence and intelligence sectors. Stephanie’s contributions will help ensure that our technology solutions meet the real-time needs of military and intelligence professionals in the most demanding environments."

SensusQ is developing an artificial intelligence-based system that combines information gathered from different sources – such as drone images, big data, and intelligence – into clearly understandable information. The system helps to make information flows more efficient, allows faster decision-making, and gives the responsible parties more time to act. In the near future, SensusQ also aims to provide a solution for other civilian sectors that work with large amounts of data.
