Zoom Call with Retired Lockheed & JPL Director

Hi all, 

My mentor is hosting a Zoom call on Wednesday 19th 5:30 PDT where he will be talking about his experience as the director of business for the Lockheed Martin Skunkworks (20 years) and NASA's Jet Propulsion Lab (Also 20 years).

During his time at both organizations he was responsible for projects including:

SR71 Blackbird

F16 

F35 Strike Fighter

U2

C130

3 Mars Rovers

And More.. 

other projects

The topic of this discussion will be surrounding how he was tasked with overhauling JPL's financial processes and why his methods were successful to the point that they now serve as the standard for the wider NASA community and how they conduct business.

Although aerospace/space focused, the corporate finance principles are industry agnostic and his personal perspective in corporate strategy and leadership are relevant to anyone looking to succeed in the business world. He is happy to answer questions and connect via Q+A following the talk. 

If anyone is interested in attending please DM me or email [email protected]
