Kleos Space (KSS) has nominated highly experienced space industry executive Dawn Harms as an Independent Non-Executive Director.

Based in the US, Ms Harms has extensive space experience at operational, management and board levels, and is currently Chief Revenue Officer at Momentus.

Prior to this she was Vice President of Global Sales and Marketing at Boeing Satellite Systems International, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at International Launch Services and Principal at Space Architectures.

“Dawn will be an exceptional addition to Kleos’ Board, bringing extensive sales and marketing experience across the space and defence sectors. Her expertise, knowledge and network will support Kleos as we grow our sales revenues,” Chair Peter Round said.

Currently, Ms Harms is a Director at satellite spectrum company ManSat and an Advisory Board member at the University of Wisconsin-Madison’s College of Engineering.

“I’ve been following Kleos for quite some time, and have been impressed by what the company has been able to achieve so far,” Ms Harms said.

“Kleos’ radio frequency data is becoming increasingly sought after within the intelligence and defence community, and as Kleos builds its constellation and the amount of data it delivers, its product will become increasingly valuable to both government and commercial customers.”

Following Kleos’ upcoming AGM, current Non-Executive Director Padraig McCarthy will step into an operational role to leverage his extensive financial and industry experience to support Kleos through its next phase of growth.

“Padraig’s financial, space industry and governance experience are great assets to Kleos, and we are delighted to continue working with him in this new capacity as Senior Advisor to the Board,” Mr Round said.

Kleos was down 1.85 per cent with shares trading at 53 cents at 1:16 pm AEST.
