In this episode of Inside the Corner Office, Thomas Buberl welcomes Hélène Huby, founder and CEO of The Exploration Company, one of Europe’s most ambitious new space ventures. After a high‑profile career at Airbus and ArianeGroup, Hélène chose to step away from the traditional aerospace path to build a European alternative in reusable space logistics.

Thomas dives into Hélène’s remarkable journey: from her drive for impact and her late‑career leap into entrepreneurship, to the culture of speed, transparency, and courage she is shaping inside her fast‑growing company. Together, they explore how to hire for excellence, manage risk in a capital‑intensive industry, and build a team capable of transforming Europe’s role in space.

Hélène also shares her long‑term vision for collaborative space infrastructure, Europe’s place in the global ecosystem, and the inspiration space can bring to future generations. She closes with powerful advice for anyone seeking to follow their talents and embrace bold ambitions.
