WASHINGTON, DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, UNITED STATES — July 22, 2020 --
The White House announced today the nomination of Dr. Greg Autry as the next Chief Financial Officer of NASA. As NASA CFO, Dr. Autry will oversee the planning, analysis, justification, control, and reporting of all NASA’s fiscal resources.
Dr. Autry was most recently an assistant professor of clinical entrepreneurship at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles and has taught at the International Space University as well as the Florida Institute of Technology. He was also the Vice President of Space Development for the National Space Society, a position he has vacated to take the new assignment.
“The National Space Society congratulates Greg for his new assignment with NASA,” said Bruce Pittman, the Senior Operating Officer for the NSS. “I’m confident that he will provide NASA with the same brilliance he has shown while at the NSS. We will miss his insights and guidance but are pleased to see him move into this increasingly important position.”
Among his many accomplishments, Dr. Autry previously served on the NASA Agency Review Team and as the White House Liaison at NASA. He was the Chair of the Safety Working Group on the Commercial Space Transportation Advisory Board with the FAA’s Office of Commercial Space Transportation through mid-2020 and has published extensively on space policy and the business of space development.
