As one of the first employees of a pioneering start-up, before Virgin Galactic, SpaceX and Blue Origin, I played a vital part in the early days of private human spaceflight. As part of my role I helped overcome initial public and media skepticism, by launching corporate partnerships that introduced the idea of space commercialization and tourism to the general public. Over the course of 8 private astronaut flights to the ISS, Space Adventures Ltd. ushered in an era in which private individuals and non-space companies have access to an ecosystem previously controlled by governments. I initiated and managed strategic alliances and marketing partnerships with corporations and government entities, including American Express, US Airways, Forbes, Dentsu, the European Space Agency, the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency, the Dubai Development and Investment Authority and many others. I also negotiated partnership agreements and managed high-profile consumer promotions worldwide with dozens of global companies, including Adidas, Audi, Citibank, Lufthansa, Oracle, P&G, Toyota, Verizon, and Volkswagen.Recruited and managed an international network of major travel agencies and other resellers, instrumental in reaching key customer segments and geographic markets, and building awareness and brand recognition around the globe.
