Philippe and his wife, Julie, moved to PVE in 2021 to start their family. They fell in love with PVE for its strong sense of community; and are excited about the roots they are putting down in a one-of-a-kind place. Philippe is an accomplished aerospace engineer. He received his bachelor’s in aerospace engineering from the University of Southern California in 2002. He was recruited to develop avionics for, at the time, a small startup called SpaceX. In 2008, he attained a Masters of Science in Electrical Engineering from the University of Southern California. Since then, he has led several Aerospace Engineering companies and now serves on a handful of advisory boards for space startups. As a director of the PVHA, Philippe aims to bring some process efficiencies and assist with automation and online services to help expand PVHA’s capacity to serve our community.
