On June 12, Heven announced that national security and technology leader Michael Buscher has joined the company as president of U.S. operations. A retired U.S. Army Reserve lieutenant colonel and seasoned executive in the defense and intelligence industries, Buscher brings decades of operational experience and strategic leadership to this critical role.
In his new position, Buscher will oversee Heven’s U.S. growth strategy, operational execution, and defense engagement—helping to scale our hydrogen-powered drone platforms across military, public safety, and commercial markets.
“Michael brings unmatched national security and enterprise leadership to our team,” said Bentzion Levinson, CEO of Heven. “His depth of experience across government, military, and tech makes him the ideal leader to grow our U.S. presence.”
Buscher’s career spans over 30 years in government and private sector roles. He served with distinction in the U.S. Army Reserve, including combat deployments with U.S. Special Operations Command and intelligence leadership at the CIA, where he operated across North Africa, Eastern Europe, and the Middle East. Today, he continues to serve as an Army Reserve Ambassador to the Department of the Army’s Major General.
In the private sector, Buscher’s leadership has guided companies across the defense, aerospace, and secure communications industries. He most recently served as Chairman and Managing Director of Consilium Data Services, and held senior roles at Fortem Technologies, Edge Autonomy, and BigBear.ai—where he helped shape M&A strategy, customer growth, and product innovation.
His board and advisory service spans industry leaders and institutions, including roles with NextTech Solutions, The George Washington University School of Business, and numerous national security organizations.
“I’m honored to join Heven at a moment when energy resilience and autonomy are redefining modern operations,” said Buscher. “Heven’s platforms are setting a new standard in drone endurance and performance, and I look forward to building out our U.S. footprint.”
