Saint Andrew’s School alumnus Zachary Sussman ’16 was recently named to the Forbes 30 Under 30 list in the Transportation & Aerospace category.

Sussman is a co-founder of Mach9, a company that utilizes high-speed lidar and artificial intelligence to create detailed 3D models of infrastructure, such as roads and bridges. According to the company’s website, the company was founded in 2021 by four researchers at the Carnegie Mellon University Robotics Institute.

Those same qualities continue to define his success today.”
