Axiom Space names new CFO and CIO for space-station push
Axiom Space said on July 15 it appointed Zach Gitomer as chief financial officer and Erick Wegerer as chief information officer, filling out its executive team as it develops the Axiom Station commercial space station, flies private astronaut missions and builds Artemis moonwalking spacesuits. Gitomer, who has advised on roughly 100 financing and M&A transactions worth nearly $100 billion, oversees finance and capital markets, while Wegerer - previously CIO at Boeing subsidiary Insitu - leads information systems and cybersecurity. The hires continue a stabilization drive following heavy 2024–2025 leadership churn and cash strains, after Axiom closed an oversubscribed $525M-plus round in June.
