Open Cosmos has appointed Natasha Dillon as chief people officer as the company scales on the back of a €300 million funding round and accelerates plans to build a 192-satellite strong connectivity constellation.

She will lead people strategy behind one of Europe’s fastest growing space tech companies, attracting and retaining the talent it needs to expand internationally while keeping the entrepreneurial culture it has had since 2015.

Natasha brings close to 30 years of experience, having spent seven years as CPO at Inmarsat, winning the chief HR Officer of the Year Award for Innovation in 2018, then leading people and talent across 70 portfolio companies at Apax Partners.
