In addition to the newly grown team, Fleet Space has managed to secure high profile stakeholders to join the team. Among the senior personnel joining the company in 2022 are Federico Tata Nardini as Chief Finance Officer, Dr Gerrit Olivier as Director of Planetary Geophysics, Dr Hemant Chaurasia as Chief Product Officer, and Kevin Ramani as Chief Revenue Officer. All bring a wealth of scientific, technical and commercial knowledge to these crucial leadership roles.
Not to mention the Global presence, Fleet staff now operate all over the world. The company HQ remains based in Adelaide, with new business offices opened in Melbourne and Brisbane and internationally, Fleet has set up offices in Houston (TX) Ontario (Canada) and Santiago (Chile).
This growth, engagement and diversity offers talented Australians and returning Australians, from recent graduates to industry leaders, exciting jobs which supports the government’s pathway to 1.2M technology jobs by 2030.
Industry Recognition
The year not only bought growth and innovation but succeeded highly in industry recognition. Fleet scooped three prestigious awards in 2022. In September, ExoSphere was named ‘Best In Class’ in the Product Design category at the Australian Good Design Awards, which celebrate the best new products and services on the Australian and international market.
In November, co-founder and CEO Flavia Tata Nardini was presented with the South Australian Pearcey Entrepreneur of the Year Award: the adjudicating committee was impressed by her leadership, tenacity and bravery, and described her as ‘a wonderful role model for young women entering the tech industry in South Australia and Australia’.
And at the South Australia ’40 under 40’ Awards in June, co-founder Matt Pearson took the VALO Sustainable Business Leaders prize, which recognises ‘an individual who has made visionary technologies that can sustainably enhance human experience and capacities’.
