Couldn't have said it any better Katherine! Check out the full discussion between Debra Facktor & Katherine Jerald 🎙here: https://lnkd.in/dfkXkVkQ #Space #SDA #ARROW450
Executive Recruiter | Aerospace, Defense Electronics, Satellite Systems & MRO | CEO @ Elray Search | Helping Mid-Market & Growth-Stage Firms Build Technical Leadership Teams | Elevating Women in STEM
For Debra Facktor, Head of U.S. Space Systems at Airbus U.S. Space & Defense (Florida)., it’s not just about the tech. It’s about the people. In this week’s episode of Mission Critical: Defense Recruiting, Debra shares how Airbus U.S. pulled off one of its boldest pivots — turning a missed opportunity into a key role in SDA’s Tranche 1 and 2 programs. 🚀 But the real transformation? It wasn’t just technical. It was cultural. From standing up a new satellite bus to scaling operations at speed, Debra led the team through rapid change — all while building a mission-driven culture and hiring for entrepreneurial DNA. 💡 Inside this episode: • How Airbus U.S. bounced back from a major loss to win critical contracts • Why trust beats process in high-speed environments • What Debra looks for in engineers, leaders, and innovators • How Airbus U.S. blends startup agility with big-industry muscle • The hidden link between internal culture and external wins “You can have the best idea ever and a not so good team — it's not going to work. You have a great team and maybe an okay idea, and it can be fantastic. Great teams can elevate mediocre ideas. And they can also creatively figure out a way around the obstacles — the real obstacles and the perceived obstacles — the obstacles that they put in their head. They're really not obstacles at all. They're just made up.” — Debra Facktor If you're building or leading in space or defense — this one’s a masterclass. 🎧 Listen now → Full links in the comments. ⤵️ #MissionCritical #Aerospace #Defense #Leadership #SpaceInnovation #Airbus #SpaceSystems #CultureWins

📸🚁📸 Check out the images from our most-recent Aerial Logistics Connector (ALC) program demonstration at United States Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) Yuma! These images demonstrate the performance characteristics of the UH-72B Lakota platform and validate its ability to load and carry specialized cargo and perform other capabilities – including supply pallets and ordnance – for the United States Marine Corps ALC Program. “This demonstration was another illustration of how our MQ-72C system can support a range of missions and payloads that Marines will need to perform operations in austere environments,” said Robert Geckle Jr., Chairman and CEO of Airbus US Space & Defense, Inc. “We believe this aircraft will redefine the future of Marine Corps aviation.” Airbus U.S. is entering the second year of the Aerial Logistics Connector Middle Tier of Acquisition (MTA) Rapid Prototyping Program, which aims to provide the service with aircraft prototypes to demonstrate capabilities to the warfighter through a series of operational demonstrations and experiments. Additional demonstrations will continue throughout the rest of 2025 that inform future acquisition decisions for the opportunity to build a prototype aircraft. #Lakota #MQ72C #ALC Check out the news release here: https://lnkd.in/eEfqkFDp

Our summer interns have been busy this week! ✈️ On Wednesday, our Arlington interns toured the Airbus Experience Center with colleagues from SteelBridge Labs. They learned about the variety of products Airbus manufacturers and met with our CEO, Robert Geckle Jr, who discussed our Lines of Business and conducted a Q&A session. 🌌 On Thursday, our Merritt Island interns toured Beyond Gravity, one of our suppliers. The visit gave our interns a firsthand look at supply chain operations and the critical role suppliers play in the manufacturing process.🧑🏭🚚 We’re grateful to our teams and partners for making these experiences possible. #Airbus #Intern #Summerinternship #NationalInternDay
