AAC Clyde Space has recruited Stefania Mandirola as Chief Operating Officer as part of a strengthening of its management team to meet the broader needs of the group that now spans six companies on three continents. Stefania will take on the COO role from 6th October to ensure operational efficiency as the Group continues to expand. In the last 12 months AAC Clyde Space has acquired three companies in the United States, Netherlands and Sweden; set up a new space company in South Africa; and had rapid organic growth. To further support this development, Kulwinder Bhumbra will join the Group as HR Director in November. Following these key additions, the executive management team has been reshaped with Peter Anderson appointed the Chief Commercial Officer of the group and Dino Lorenzini becoming the Chief Scientific Officer of AAC Clyde Space. Stefania joins AAC Clyde Space from Rolls-Royce Aerospace where she has held various leadership positions, most recently as Head of Supplier Management. She holds a Master of Science from Politecnico di Milano. Kulwinder joins from Volvo and brings more than 10 years experience in HR roles and has worked through a variety of change initiatives. These latest appointments follow Dr. Andrew Carrel joining the Group in May 2021 from a position as CTO of Rezatec, a specialist company in geospatial analytics. He has worked in the space industry for over 20 years.
