Tech executive Tim Solms named CEO of Slingshot Aerospace

WASHINGTON — Slingshot Aerospace, a space tracking and data analytics company, named longtime tech executive Tim Solms as its new chief executive officer, the company announced Feb. 7. 
The company’s former CEO and co-founder Melanie Stricklan resigned from Slingshot in August 2023 for personal reasons, a spokesperson told SpaceNews. Slingshot’s co-founder David Godwin had been serving as interim chief executive until Solms’ appointment.

Solms previously worked at Microsoft, Dell, VMware, and most recently at Dun & Bradstreet, a provider of business decision-making data and analytics.
