Senior🎓
Top SchoolJohn Lee is a Senior Technical Program Manager with 12+ years leading complex hardware and software programs across satellite communications, medical devices, wireless products, and large-scale consumer services. He combines aerospace-grade systems engineering (USC MS, MIT BS) and Lean operational leadership to consistently deliver regulated products to market—ranging from FDA-cleared digital pathology systems to satellite comms and services supporting 80M+ users. John has driven dramatic commercial impact (1000% revenue growth at Ixonos, $250M sales lift at HTC) while also capturing multi-million dollar savings through process optimization at Lockheed Martin. Equally comfortable in the lab, the launch control room, and the executive briefing, he bridges cross-functional teams, regulatory design controls, and P&L responsibilities to turn strategy into repeatable delivery. A former Space Shuttle ascent performance expert who reduced weather-related scrub risk by over 50%, he brings a rare combination of mission-critical flight experience and consumer product commercialization. Based in California, he now applies that rigor to satellite system development and integration at Viasat.
