• Cross-Organizational Integration: Facilitate comprehensive integration across mission partners, including Combat Forces Command, Space Acquisition and Integration, and commercial space industry partners, to support the fielding of resilient space sensing architectures.

• Meeting Management: Organize and facilitate senior leadership meetings, off-sites, and reviews. Prepare agendas, capture action items, and track progress toward completion.
