Background

About Beau Holder

I do two simple things well: bring important stories to life for key audiences, and connect meaningfully with other humans. Six years into my career, I dropped everything and persevered through an arduous change of industries to dedicate my life's work to the development and pursuit of humanity's future in space and technological progress via helping leading commercial space companies and the U.S. government bring their stories (and the story of our collective future) to the right ears in the right ways. I have worked with subject matter experts in commercial space station development and microgravity research, suborbital space tourism, Earth observation and space situational awareness, and NASA space and aeronautical science and engineering to bring our future to life in vivid color and make the story of the human destiny resonate on a visceral level. My 12 years' experience in external, internal, and executive communications, media relations, brand storytelling, creative strategy, copy editing and publishing, message development, social media management, relationship-building, and stakeholder engagement spans multiple industries and multiple layers of the space industry, from startups to sprawling government bureaucracies. I was a key architect and the primary voice behind one of the space industry's ascendant brands at Axiom Space, have touched a wide variety of advanced efforts within NASA, and intend to spend a lifetime, wherever I can or must, pushing this next stage of human evolution forward. I also seek to work on national space policy with an eye toward a permanent human presence in space, and a future of global cooperation in making it a reality. The story of 21st century space exploration is one of a future that has always awaited us. It is the tale of a civilization on the precipice of growing up and leaving the nest. It is up to us to answer the cosmic calling – to go forth and encounter, to reach out and touch, to be subsumed by the Universe, itself. Let's talk about it.
