About Craig Peterson

I have been integrating and managing Engineering teams from several companies across 2 continents and 3 or more countries launching commercial and dual use satellites at sea and on land. My past experiences on Shuttle, Mir and ISS programs led to several recognitions by NASA for excellence in my contributions to the programs successes. I am an expert in the successful execution of managing several contracts over several programs simultaneously. • Integrating every aspect of a business to achieve success. • Executing best practices of a program manager being highly effective in PMBOK, earned value management, risk management, schedule management, budget management, people management, process improvement, and integrating and leading the team. • Knowledge in proposal, SOW, and ITAR licensing preparation and execution thereof. • Internal and external customer management and satisfaction. • Developing and leading training programs to improve employee productivity, job satisfaction and workplace morale. • Finding solutions quickly to ensure seamless execution of a program on budget and on time or better.
