Vizgard
Alex Kehoe is the founder and CEO of Vizgard, a multi-award-winning UK SME developing AI-powered visual autonomy software to automate defence and security camera systems. A former Royal Navy submariner and senior systems engineer, he launched Vizgard in 2021 and has since led its rapid growth, securing multiple UK Government contracts and £1.5 million in investment from Sure Valley Ventures. Under his leadership, Vizgard created FortifAI, a low-SWaP edge autonomy platform used in drones, counter-UAS systems, surveillance networks, and unmanned vehicles worldwide. Alex is a strong advocate for UK sovereign and responsible AI in defence, with a focus on trust, transparency, and operator-centric design. He regularly contributes to media and industry discussions, including a recent appearance on BBC Business Today, where he shared insights into the role of AI and autonomy in modern conflict.
