About Laura Stiles
I am passionate about space exploration and even more so about building and leading diverse, talented teams to push the boundaries in this fast-paced field. I have combined my strong technical background in aerospace, experience in project management, and my passion for developing people and teams with a strong safety culture from 10+ years instructing skydiving to establish, grow, and lead the New Shepard flight operations team to the major accomplishment of launching humans to space.
