Virgin Galactic also named Ray Mabus, former secretary of the U.S. Navy and governor of Mississippi, to its board as lead independent director and Diana Strandberg, a former executive at investment management firm Dodge & Cox, as a member.
“Ray and Diana’s dynamic and complementary expertise in capital markets, international business and government will greatly benefit Virgin Galactic as we launch and grow our global commercial spaceline,” said Michael Colglazier, CEO of Virgin Galactic.
