Former Anduril executive Wallis Laughrey has joined Voyager Space as chief strategy officer responsible for strengthening the company’s national security objectives.
Laughrey, an aerospace and defense expert with over two decades of experience delivering high-impact defense programs, previously served as vice president of Anduril Labs, which he helped establish to expand Anduril’s presence in critical defense technology programs and secure major advancements in weapons systems, Voyage Space said Monday.
His private sector experience also included time spent as chief strategy and transformation officer and vice president and general manager of space and command and control systems at Raytheon Technologies. In the said roles, Laughrey helped drive multibillion-dollar growth and strengthen national security infrastructure through key acquisitions and innovations.
Matthew Kuta, president of Voyager Space, said Laughrey’s expertise in delivering complex aerospace and defense systems reinforces the company’s commitment “to leading in the defense industry and ensuring the United States and its allies remain prepared for evolving threats.”
According to the new chief strategy officer, Voyager is positioned to expand its impact significantly, noting its strong and growing foundation in national security.
“With recent program wins – including being selected to support the Missile Defense Agency’s Next Generation Interceptor via Lockheed Martin – and a commitment to defense-tech innovation, we’re ready to deliver advanced, resilient solutions that protect our nation’s interests,” he added.
