Trump-connected space expert jets off to private sector

Posted by Keturah Hetrick on Oct. 30, 2018

Thanks to one eminently qualified new hire, a small aerospace company is now one connection closer to both Congress and the Trump administration.

Space-law expert Mike Mineiro joined HawkEye 260 this month as vice president of legal and regulatory affairs and will head the company's government affairs practice. The satellite manufacturer focuses its federal lobbying on Defense Department appropriations and the National Defense Authorization Act.

Mineiro comes from the House Science Committee's Subcommittee on Space, where he worked as Republican staff director and senior counsel, and previously served as senior policy analyst and National Space Council liaison to the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy. He holds doctorate of civil law and master of law degrees from McGill University.
