Arizona Tribune - Universal Edge Technologies Establishes Senior Advisory Committee, Names Mark Powell and Mark P. Mills as Founding Members

MIAMI, FL / ACCESS Newswire / September 8, 2026 / The Senior Advisory Committee brings together experienced leaders who counsel UET's Board of Directors and executive team on the decisions that shape the company's future. Serving in an independent advisory role, its members lend strategic perspective on capital formation, partnerships, government and defense engagement, talent and recruiting, new market development, production maturity, and international expansion. As UET scales from breakthrough technology to production at volume, the committee's guidance will help the company move with focus, engage the right partners, and build for the long term.

"Mark Powell brings exactly the kind of operational judgment and market perspective that matters at this stage of our growth. He has founded, built, and successfully exited multiple defense related companies, and his counsel will help us scale with discipline as we bring edge AI infrastructure to production. Mark Mills brings four decades at the intersection of energy, compute, and policy-exactly where our market sits. Together, they give us a committee with the depth to guide real decisions, not just lend their names."

- Trace Woodbury, President and CEO of UET
