Lawrence Williams

From SpaceWiki

Lawrence Williams, Vice President of Strategic Relations at SpaceX, appears to have a similar but more general job description than his colleague Marv Vander Weg. For one thing, according to his bio on the ever-popular SpaceX People page, he is responsible for selling SpaceX's services to customers beyond just the United States, such as the Malaysian government, whose RazakSAT microsatellite was the first real payload successfully carried into orbit by a SpaceX rocket.

Williams has useful experience on both sides of the public-private divide. Like his other colleague Timothy Hughes, he has worked for the U.S. House Committee on Science, though at the time its full name was "the House Committee on Science, Space and Technology." Williams has also worked in the telecommunications satellite industry, first for Teledesic Corporation and then for the company it merged with, ICO Global Communications. Thus, it's perhaps unsurprising that he's lined up launches for Orbcomm, Spacecom, and Iridium on SpaceX's launch manifest.
