Company Ownership and Structure
Bernhard Doll and Jost Munder are the founders of the company. Since the start of SpaceTech's operation they are acting as Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Operating Officer (COO), respectively. Both have acquired great experience in the space business in their previous positions as senior managers and system engineers at Dornier Satellite Systems and later at Astrium.
The structure of the company is based on a flat organisational hierarchy. This supports efficient internal communication, quick decision-making processes, simple working interfaces and a fast and flexible response to customer requirements and expectations.
Through the introduction of participating certificates the executive management of SpaceTech shares the ownership of the company with their permanent employees. At present, more than 50% of SpaceTech's financial shares are owned by the employees and a substantial portion of the company's earnings is disbursed among the staff.
