Space Systems Company (SSC), during a ceremony Tuesday in
Washington, DC. WIA is a nonprofit organization dedicated to
expanding women's opportunities for leadership and to increasing
their visibility within the aerospace community.
Sattler, a 27-year Lockheed Martin employee, was recognized for
her leadership in the development of space-based communication
systems that protect warfighters worldwide and for her
contributions to the advancement of future leaders.
"We are proud to have Julie on our team and we congratulate her
on receiving this prestigious award," said Joanne Maguire,
executive vice president of Lockheed Martin Space Systems Company.
"Her technical achievements, leadership skills, passion for
mentoring and devotion to operational excellence exemplify her
commitment to our industry and those who choose careers in
aerospace."
Sattler currently serves as a vice president and general manager
of one of SSC's largest lines of business focused on developing
some of the most sophisticated space systems for sensitive national
security.
Sattler has achieved many firsts during her career with Lockheed
Martin. She previously served as the first female vice president of
SSC's engineering organization and as the vice president and
program manager of a multi-billion dollar military communications
satellite program, known at the Advanced Extremely High Frequency
system, another first for a female at Lockheed Martin. Sattler also
successfully delivered other critical programs, including Milstar
and the Defense Satellite Communications System.
Sattler earned bachelor's degree in Aeronautical Engineering
from San Jose State University and is a graduate of the Executive
Program Management Course at the Defense Systems Management
College, the Harvard Program for Senior Executives in National and
International Security and Lockheed Martin Executive Development
and Leadership Program.
She also mentors a host of early and mid-career Lockheed Martin
professionals and is actively involved in several organizations
including the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics,
Society of Women Engineers and the National Defense Industrial
Association.
