“Debra’s passion for space and people is a winning combination for Airbus U.S. Space & Defense,” he said. “She’s widely known in the industry for building teams and mentoring women and younger-generation space professionals and its evident in the stellar results of the high-performing team she’s building here. Her enthusiasm and vision for the future are what I most admire about her.”
