About Taylor Seitz

I am a senior program management professional with over a decade of experience leading complex aerospace and technical programs from concept to delivery. I have owned $100M+ U.S. and international government contracts, managed cross-functional teams, and delivered certified hardware and software systems on time, on budget, and in compliance with rigorous standards.My background includes payload design, testing, and flight certification; hardware/software integration; and building scalable program management processes in startup and government environments. I thrive at the intersection of engineering and business — translating customer requirements into executable programs, driving proposals and contract growth, and mentoring teams to succeed under pressure.
