The Midgard Raven Difference

Midgard Raven, LLC was founded on a unique synthesis of experience: the rigorous discipline of a U.S. Air Force imagery analyst, the strategic foresight of a seasoned consultant, and the community-driven passion of a non-profit founder.

Adam Simmons brings a rare perspective to the table. His expertise in remote sensing on satellite and aerial platforms, geospatial analysis, and his training in critical infrastructure & order of battle provides a deep understanding of complex systems, while his leadership of Project Geospatial demonstrates a commitment to advancing the entire industry. This blend of technical mastery and strategic empathy allows us to deliver insights that are not only analytically sound but also strategically resonant and human-centered.

We operate at the intersection of technology, strategy, and leadership to help our clients navigate uncertainty and achieve decisive advantage.
