    Tom Wilson, Northrop Grumman Space Systems

    Tom Wilson

    Corporate Vice President and President of Northrop Grumman Space Systems

    Tom Wilson has been president of a fast-growing sector at Northrop Grumman Space Systems since 2022. Space Systems sector is the world’s largest, most diverse space business and is shaping the future of a dynamic and rapidly changing domain.

    Last year, Northrop Grumman’s space business grew by about 15%, and that included welcoming nearly 7,000 new employees and expanding its footprint with new manufacturing facilities across the nation.

    Major milestones during Wilson’s tenure include the launches of the Artemis I Space Launch System rocket, vital to the return to the moon and deploying the James Webb Space Telescope.

    “Tom’s leadership across Northrop Grumman’s space portfolio is vital as we reimagine the future of space exploration, security and commercial space,” said Kathy Warden, chair, CEO and president of Northrop Grumman. “Northrop Grumman is experiencing incredible growth in our work supporting the U.S. and its allies to operate effectively and freely in space. His ability to inspire his team and foster an inclusive and innovative culture is key to our future success.”

    Why Watch

    Wilson’s team provides customers with advanced, end-to-end capabilities across a wide range of missions, with unmatched expertise in mission engineering and radiation-tolerant, cyber-resilient systems. The team members draw upon their decades-long legacy that goes back to the dawn of the space age, to innovate solutions that protect the nation and its allies, and make space safe, secure and sustainable well into the future.

    “The rapid commercialization of space is changing the way we do business, with new and disruptive business models and capabilities driving everything from space-as-a-service opportunities for flagship civil space missions today, to cislunar opportunities tomorrow, and completely new missions on the horizon thanks to advances in areas such as in-space servicing,” Wilson said.

    “With space as the backbone of our modern society and our national security, we at Northrop Grumman continue to look for new ways to deliver solutions more rapidly and affordably to our customers, in support of our nation’s most critical missions.”
