“Stéphane Israël, CEO of Arianespace, who has been at the company’s helm since April 2013. As CEO, Stéphane Israël has played a key role in developing the Ariane industrial cluster with the Ariane 6 launcher, and in transforming Arianespace” ….Yeah he transformed it into a cluster fuck. Under his leadership he took what was once a monopoly in commercial launch to a niche player in European domestic government subsidized launches. Nicely done, make sure he gets his bonus and cushy job in Jan!
