DroneUp appoints second Walmart exec to board

Virginia Beach-based LLC has appointed David Guggina, Inc.’s senior vice president of innovation and automation, to its , the commercial drone and flight services company announced Monday.

“DroneUp has been a key player in making customer delivery via drone a reality for millions of customers across the country,” Guggina said in a statement. “I am honored to join the DroneUp as the company builds on its reputation of reliability and convenience for businesses and consumers.”

During the last four years, Guggina has led the roll out of automation technology in Walmart’s supply chain network and implementation of last mile deliveries. He has also held senior roles overseeing product, engineering and operations with Walmart. He is based in Walmart’s headquarters city of Bentonville, Arkansas, according to his LinkedIn account.

A provider of drone services for Walmart, DroneUp announced a partnership with the retailer in 2021 to provide drone delivery services at 34 sites around the nation with the capacity to reach 4 million homes. Walmart has a minority stake in DroneUp.

Guggina previously worked at Amazon.com Inc. for nine years. He started in fulfillment operations and advanced to general manager of customer service operations. Prior to that, Guggina was a warehouse group leader program at Anheuser-Busch Companies LLC.

“Over the course of his career, David has been at the forefront of transformational changes that have delivered extraordinary warehouse and operational efficiencies to improve the customer service experience,” DroneUp founder and CEO Tom Walker said in a statement. “We are thrilled to welcome David to our board at a time when DroneUp is pushing the boundaries of delivery and customer expectations.”

DroneUp’s other board members are:

  • Eric Grubman, chairman of SGHC Ltd.
  • Thomas Walker, CEO of DroneUp
  • Thomas R. Ward, executive vice president and chief ecommerce officer for Walmart U.S.
  • Thomas R. Frantz, chairman emeritus and partner at Williams Mullen
  • Jerrold L. Miller, CEO of The Miller Group

Founded in 2016, DroneUp works with more than 20,000 drone pilots. Last week, DroneUp and Gov. Glenn Youngkin announced that DroneUp is adding 655 jobs as part of a $27 million expansion of its headquarters and establishment of a testing, training, and research and development center at Richard Bland College.

Arts/Entertainment/Sports: DAN SNYDER

The notorious co-owner of the Washington Commanders has had a rough two years, coming under NFL and congressional scrutiny for the team’s allegedly “toxic workplace culture,” including accusations of sexual harassment by Snyder himself.

After becoming majority owner of the NFL team in 1999, Snyder last year became its sole owner. He also acquired the most expensive house in Virginia, a $48 million residence once part of Mount Vernon, last fall.

But when the NFL fined the team $10 million in 2021 after former female employees said they were harassed by team executives, Snyder ceded responsibility for overseeing the team’s day-to-day operations to his wife, Tanya, and named her co-CEO.

In June, The Washington Post reported that a former employee who was paid a $1.6 million settlement had accused Snyder of sexually harassing and assaulting her during a 2009 business trip.

In July, Snyder testified before a congressional committee investigating reports of misconduct in the team’s head offices.

Amid mounting scandals, key state lawmakers in June backed away from supporting legislation for incentives to lure the team’s new stadium from Maryland, but there’s still a possibility the project could land in Prince William or Loudoun counties.

Federal Contractors/Technology: MARK P. MARRON

Marron joined ePlus Inc. in 2005 as senior vice president of sales after spending four years at NetIQ, where he served as senior vice president of worldwide sales and services. He became ePlus’ chief operating officer in 2010, rising to president and CEO six years later. Marron joined ePlus’ in 2018.

Founded in 1990, the technology solutions provider went public in 1996 and has more than 1,500 employees. CRN ranked ePlus No. 30 on its 2022 Solution Provider 500 List. ePlus serves 3,000 customers, helping with digital innovation, network modernization and technological investments.

For fiscal 2022, the company reported $1.82 billion in net sales, a 16% increase over the previous year. In July, ePlus purchased Texas-based Future Com Ltd., a hardware, software, support and consulting company, expanding ePlus’ cybersecurity capabilities.

Marron holds a bachelor’s degree in computer science from Montclair State University in New Jersey.
