Adam Gilmour is the Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder of Gilmour Space Technologies, an Australian-owned company that is leading the development of sovereign space capabilities in launch vehicles, satellites, and access to space. Founded in Queensland, Gilmour Space is today the largest space manufacturer in Australia with over 200 employees, funding from some of Australia's biggest private investors, and contracts for launch and satellite systems from both commercial and defence customers.

Before starting his career in space, Adam spent over two decades at Citi managing a billion-dollar regional sales business dealing in complex financial products for institutional and corporate clients in the Asia Pacific. An avid space fan, his inspiration for change came in 2004 when the X-Prize was won by Scaled Composites’ SpaceShipOne, which demonstrated just how affordable spaceflight could be. Today, he is leading a growing team of talented engineers in Queensland, Australia, on a mission to develop and deliver truly low-cost access to space.
