Meet Miriam McNabb: The Powerhouse Behind the Drone Revolution

In an industry where innovation moves at breakneck speed, few voices carry as much weight as Miriam McNabb’s. As the Editor-in-Chief of DRONELIFE and CEO of JobForDrones, she’s not just reporting on the drone boom—she’s shaping it.

From High-Tech to High-Flying

McNabb isn’t your typical tech journalist. With a degree from the University of Chicago and two decades in high-tech sales and marketing, she brings a rare blend of business acumen and editorial rigor to the drone space. Her 3,000+ articles on commercial drones have become required reading for industry insiders, while her leadership at JobForDrones—a marketplace connecting drone operators with gigs—proves she’s equally comfortable in the boardroom.

“Drones aren’t just gadgets anymore. They’re rewriting entire industries, from logistics to entertainment,” McNabb remarked in a recent keynote.

The Cutting Edge of Drone Tech

Published on April 28, 2025, her latest work dives into the bleeding edge of autonomous systems and AI-driven drone racing—topics that would’ve sounded like sci-fi a decade ago. Events like ASPIRE UAE and research from the Advanced Technology Research Council feature prominently, showcasing how governments and private sectors are racing to harness drone potential. McNabb also spotlights innovators like Stéphane Timpano, whose work in drone competitions pushes technical boundaries.

Why Her Voice Matters

What sets McNabb apart isn’t just her expertise—it’s her ability to decode complex tech for mainstream audiences. Whether dissecting regulatory hurdles or profiling underground drone races, she bridges the gap between engineers and entrepreneurs. And for those looking to go deeper? She offers consulting services and invites collaborators to connect, cementing her role as both commentator and catalyst.
