Beyond Gravity realigns organization: Streamlined management and consolidated divisions

Beyond Gravity will realign itself with a simplified and leaner organization as of January 1, 2026. This step follows on from the completion of the divestitures of all non-space-related business areas in recent years and optimally positions the company for its new size and the next strategic phase.

"In recent years, Beyond Gravity has built a strong brand and established itself as a reliable partner in the commercial and institutional space markets. We have also invested significantly in our locations, our production, our working environment, and our digital future. The new, leaner organization is the logical next step," says André Wall, CEO of Beyond Gravity. 

Adapting the organization to its new size and future conditions

The decision to keep Beyond Gravity in state ownership is a sign of recognition for the company's capabilities and expertise in the context of the strategic importance of space. At the same time, this means that Beyond Gravity must operate profitably, efficiently, and independently, regardless of its owner. The two previous divisions, Satellites and Launchers, will therefore be merged into an integrated business organization and headed by the Chief Operations Officer in the future. This will allow synergies to be better exploited, structures and processes to be further simplified, and the company's strengths to be pooled in an even more targeted manner. André Wall says: "Following the clarification of the ownership structure and the successful completion of the divestment of non-space-related business areas with good, sustainable follow-up solutions for employees, we are now preparing for the future: We are creating the conditions to remain agile, customer-focused, and successful in global competition. Beyond Gravity will also continue to make an even stronger contribution to Switzerland's security and space policy interests as a globally active company."

Leaner management

In order to make the organization more effective, agile, and closer to the market, the Executive Board will also be reduced from six to three members. In the future, the Executive Board will consist of André Wall (CEO), Angelo Quabba (CFO), and Oliver Grassmann, the former head of the Satellites Division, who will now take on the role of Chief Operations Officer (COO).  

As part of the reorganization, Laura-Katrin Seitz, Chief People Officer, has decided to take the next step in her professional career outside Beyond Gravity. André Wall says: "We thank Laura-Katrin for her leadership, integrity, and the significant contribution she has made to the further development of the company and collaboration at Beyond Gravity over the past years."
