On this episode of the Additive Insight podcast, we're joined by Velo3D CEO Arun Jeldi. 

Jeldi is a serial entrepreneur, currently running four different businesses. He took the reins at Velo3D at the beginning of 2025, after Arrayed Additive’s acquisition of the company in a debt for equity exchange. 

Since then, Jeldi and his team have been working to revive Velo3D, expanding the company’s business model to include a parts production service, aiming for profitability by 2026 and listing the company on the Nasdaq stock exchange. 

Joining the Additive Insight podcast, Jeldi explains what motivated him to acquire Velo3D, why he felt it necessary to launch a parts production business, and why he was comfortable listing the company on the Nasdaq so soon. 

He also highlights the importance of ongoing materials qualification programmes with DOD organisations and provides insight on his plan to make Velo3D a century-old company.  

#234 Velo3D CEO Arun Jeldi: "I'm very confident I can turn Velo3D around."

A funny, happy intro jingle to lighten the mood during my work team's weekly service review / on-call handoff meetings (Docusign Organization Management)

Lyrics:
Welcome everyone
From the team that’s number one
A brand new week has come

Hope you’re ready to have some fun
From an insightful discussion
It’s the Weekly Service Review

We’ll take a holistic view
Investigate each clue
Let metrics lead us to
Improvement avenues

We’ll speak on what we had to do
From on call bugs that stacked the queue
To incidents that accrued 

If you’re up next, don’t be bummed
From failing regression runs
If you feel under the gun
We’ll help you when you're stunned

Keep a positive attitude
Don’t worry, it’s not just you
Our team’s got your back to see it through

So, welcome everyone
From the team that’s number one
To the Weekly Service Review

I said, welcome everyone
Welcome everyone
To the Weekly Service Review

The Weekly Service Review

This episode is sponsored by Turner.

Blanca Diaz, vice president and construction executive at Turner, and Leah Turner-Jenkins, special projects division manager at Turner, started in the same university engineering program — but their careers took sharply different paths.

In conversation with host Sam East, Blanca and Leah reflect on the pivotal teachers who steered them toward engineering, their experiences navigating massive construction projects, and how Turner supports women in the field.

Hear what it takes to thrive in an industry that demands both technical expertise and people-centered leadership, and what they each learned along the way about leading change.
