upcoming speaking engagement
iRocket CEO Asad Malik will be a panelist at the Sagamore National Security Conference at the University of Notre Dame, August 12-13, 2024.
America faces a more complex, more volatile and more dangerous threat environment than anything we have seen since the Cold War. State and nonstate actors are developing tech-enabled weaponry and assaulting the global commons from the seas to space to cyberspace. The inaugural Sagamore National Security Conference at the University of Notre Dame will bring together policymakers, researchers, senior military officers, industry executives and technology leaders to discuss our response to current and emerging threats and the critical role of Midwest companies and institutions in global security and innovation.
The Sagamore National Security Conference is unique in its location and composition. The Midwest is known for its advanced manufacturing capabilities and the University of Notre Dame is a leading research institution developing new technologies and the next generation of leaders to shape the future of global security. The Midwest is also known for its practicality and commitment to service. The Sagamore National Security Conference will feature prominent experts and leaders who recognize the importance of the Midwest to national security and who are committed to collaborative solutions to our most pressing problems.
OUR CEO IS IN THE NEWS
iRocket CEO Asad Malik was a speaker for the Frontier Tech Panel for NYU Stern’s Endless Frontier Labs (EFL) annual Frontiers 2024 Showcase, where innovation meets opportunity, on May 9 in NYC.
Panelists include Asad Malik, CEO of iRocket, Chris Ho Director at Vickers Venture Partners, Dillon Baxter, Founder and CEO of Plantswitch, @Sebastian Titz, Investment Manager at 3M Ventures, and Toby Stuart, Helzel Professor at UC Berkeley-Haas.
They discussed recent advances in the physical and material sciences, in fields like automation and robotics, as well as implications for applications spanning manufacturing, computing, and sustainability.
As SSPI’s “20 Under 35” cohort of 2023, iRocket CEO Asad Malik joined SSPI’s Lou Zacharilla on the podcast published on June 3rd, 2024: In this Better Satellite World podcast series, we ask the question: “What would you do if you had the power to make the world a better place during your career?”
This is the official podcast of the Space & Satellite Professionals International. On this channel, we release podcasts in two series: Making Leaders and Better Satellite World.

In this Better Satellite World podcast series, we ask the question: “What would you do if you had the power to make the world a better place during your career?” Joining SSPI’s Lou Zacharilla to answer that question in the fifth episode are 3 members of the “20 Under 35” cohort of 2023: Neha Lin, Space Systems Engineer at Iridum, Armando Loli, Project Engineer at Boeing and Asad Malik, Founder, Chairman and CEO of iRocket.
Neha Lin is a Space Systems Engineer at Iridium. She joined the company in 2017 as a Satellite Payload Computer Engineer, during a pivotal time when Iridium had just begun retiring its older satellites and launching Iridium NEXT satellites with entirely new payload hardware and software, as well as hosted services. As soon as she took on this role, Neha was confronted with a multitude of challenges with on-orbit payload hardware and software issues and integrating the new satellites into the existing Iridium satellite constellation without disrupting service for customers. She investigated each issue and developed appropriate responses and procedures to minimize service impact. Neha also actively guided the Operations team in efforts to recover the computers with as little disruption as possible. Before joining Iridium, Neha began her career as a Reliability Test Engineer at Microchip Corp., where she carried out rigorous flash endurance cycles on PIC microcontrollers. She transitioned into a role as an RTL Design Engineer at Microchip Corp. before moving on to join Iridium.
Armando Loli is a Project Engineer at Boeing. He joined the company initially as an Industrial Engineer, a role in which he supported F-15, F/A-18 and 777x aircraft. From there, Armando transferred to Kennedy Space Center to work on Boeing’s Starliner Crewed Spacecraft. He was selected as a key member of the Pad Team that assists NASA astronauts into the Crew Module on Launch Day and also granted security clearances to help integrate Production Engineering initiatives across Boeing’s entire Space and Launch portfolio. In his current position, Armando developed the requirements and initial design for a Spacecraft Production System Digital Model/Twin and demonstrated optimized build flows and flexible scaling to meet different build rate scenarios. He is currently managing 3 major projects for Boeing’s Space Production, Test, Launch and Recovery Engineering Core Team. While working at Boeing, Armando created and now manages an initial Immersive Development Center for the company’s space programs that provides Mixed Reality technologies, which help with manufacturing, production, test and operations.
Asad Malik is the Founder, Chairman and CEO of iRocket. He founded iRocket at the age of 28 with the vision of bridging the “digital divide” by launching satellites designed to enhance 5G high-speed Internet access, autonomous vehicles, telemedicine and online education. The company’s slogan, “Launch More. Wait Less,” articulates its commitment to providing low-cost, responsive launches with a fully reusable launch vehicle powered by clean, sustainable propellants. iRocket also plans to provide point-to-point cargo delivery services, which can be used for national security and humanitarian missions, such as those dealing with natural disasters. Asad is a graduate of the Tandon School of Engineering at New York University with a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering. He worked at M&J Engineering Group, a diversified provider of engineering, environmental, construction and technology services, for 12 years, eventually serving as Senior Vice President and Chief Technology Officer. While working at M&J, Asad developed MARQUS, an FEA error-checking and design optimization tool for submarine hull structure design, and helped deliver $2 billion in constructed value projects for the Department of Defense with exceptional CPARS ratings. Asad still serves on the Board of Directors at M&J while leading iRocket today. In 2020, he was accepted into the NYU Stern Accelerator Endless Frontiers Lab (EFL) and was part of its Deep Tech Cohort. EFL works with high-growth start-ups that employ innovations in technology and life sciences with the goal of having societal impact through science and technology.
on February 7, 2024, iRocket CEO Asad Mlaik spoke at the Red Beard Ventures Summit 2024, a two-day virtual summit that was a premier event in the Web3 and Frontier Tech space covering a wide range of sectors from blockchain and tokenomics to sports, AI, biotech, and more.
Space is a contested warfighting domain in which adversarial activity threatens the space power advantage of the US military. The DoD relies upon overhead space effects for tactical communications, battlespace intelligence, and PNT services.
These services are all enabled by launch—and the breadth and depth of US military dependency on GPS is acknowledged as a critical national vulnerability.
iRocket CEO Asad Malik discussed the role of launch and commercial PNT solutions in providing tactically responsive space capabilities, gathering perspective with Payload Sapce and TrustPoint, on November 20, 2023.
