With 25+ years of tech leadership, Kelli shares how aligning revenue strategy, marketing, and mission-driven innovation helps scale technology supporting government agencies, national security missions, and commercial space operators.
We explore why space traffic coordination is now mission-critical—and how AI-powered data and predictive analytics help prevent collisions, protect satellites, and improve orbital decision-making.
Kelli also explains how the Slingshot Platform combines global sensor data, satellite launch databases, and third-party intelligence to create one of the most accurate real-time and predictive maps of space activity available today.
Beyond technology, the conversation dives into leadership, global team empowerment, and balancing revenue growth with public sector missions—offering insight into the future of the space economy.
