transition from the company, where he recommended and endorsed
Wrenn’s elevation to CEO.
“This leadership change is a natural progression for the company
as it becomes laser focused on customer development and executing
its go-to-market strategy,” said Dómhnal Slattery, SpinLaunch
Chairman of the Board. “David has an exemplary history at
SpinLaunch having spent the last nine years successfully helming
various executive leadership roles across the organization. His
deep understanding of the firm’s business and technology uniquely
qualifies him to lead the team as CEO and oversee the continued
execution of the company’s strategy.”
Wrenn was part of the founding SpinLaunch team, joining the
company in early 2015 as a mechanical engineer. He is responsible
for key developments across engineering, system architecture, and
business strategy. Wrenn previously led the engineering team as VP
of Technology and played a critical role in the company’s
fundraising efforts and strategic operations as COO.
“I am energized to lead SpinLaunch into this next chapter,” said
Wrenn. “With the company’s experienced leadership and incredibly
talented team, I am confident in our ability to execute on the
company’s mission and bring our integrated tech stack of low-cost
space solutions to market. I look forward to sharing more details
about our near and long-term strategy in the coming months.”
“SpinLaunch’s unwavering dedication to excellence and innovation
has positioned the business for long-term success,” said Greg
McAdoo, tech investment veteran and SpinLaunch board member. “With
immense momentum, energy, and a strong foundation to build upon, I
am eager to continue supporting David and the team as they enter
this next phase of the company’s evolution.”
