About Jessica Mann

From the Field to the Final Frontier As a former Division I athlete, I know the discipline, strategy, and teamwork it takes to compete at the highest level. I bring that same energy to recruiting top talent for the aerospace, defense, and satellite sectors. 🧠 Scientifically Grounded, Strategically Driven With a Master’s in Industrial-Organizational Psychology, I apply behavioral science to every search, combining data-informed insights with a deep understanding of leadership, motivation, and organizational fit. My approach isn’t just about filling roles; it’s about launching careers and aligning talent with mission-critical goals. Who I Work With I partner with growing and middle-market aerospace, satellite, and defense firms that are shaping the future of national security and space innovation. My focus is on identifying and securing top-tier talent in operations, business development, program and contract management, and finance. At Elray Search, we believe that aerospace and defense is for everyone. Notably, 50% of the leaders we place are women, doubling the industry average. Our commitment to diversity ensures that we bring a broad range of perspectives to the organizations we serve.
