Tony Gingiss is named CEO of Millennium Space Systems.

Satellite manufacturer Millennium Space Systems has hired Tony Gingiss as CEO after Jason Kim departed the company earlier this year for Firefly Aerospace. 

He was most recently chief operating officer of Terran Orbital, but also held C-suite roles with Virgin Orbit and Airbus OneWeb satellites. Gingiss has also had a long career in the past with Boeing, which owns Millennium. 

Gingiss is tasked with overseeing the company’s continued production ramp-up and expansion of national security space missions. Millennium has around 1,000 employees and is executing on contracts including FOO Fighter, Missile Track Custody, TRACERS and next-gen and advanced space programs. 

“We’re pleased to welcome Tony back to Boeing as he takes the helm of Millennium Space Systems,” said Michelle Parker, vice president of Boeing Space Mission Systems. “Tony brings strong leadership and extensive experience that will help us scale our operations while meeting current commitments and driving growth for the business.”
