Craig Seabrook has been named Business Development Director at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala., overseeing new business initiatives.
Seabrook is among a group of new managers named by Marshall Center Director David King to lead new organizations created in a recent realignment — a transformation intended to position Marshall’s implementation of NASA’s space exploration mission.
“Craig is a great asset to our organization,” said Marshall Center Director King. “His business knowledge and experience will benefit Marshall as we align the Center to carry out the Vision for Space Exploration.” The Vision calls for Space Shuttles to return to safe flight to complete the International Space Station and human and robotic exploration of the Solar System.
Seabrook will be responsible for leading the Marshall Center’s new business development program and providing leadership in the formulation of business strategies and business acquisitions. He also will provide guidance and input on Marshall’s funding priorities, track business opportunities and develop teaming arrangements with other government agencies, industry and academic partners.
“This is an exciting time to be part of NASA, and I look forward to being a part of the Marshall team,” Seabrook said. “One of the goals of the Business Development Office is to bring new work and jobs to North Alabama, and to strengthen the capabilities of the Marshall Center and our Redstone Arsenal team.”
Seabrook has 18 years of industry experience in engineering, management and business development. He worked 10 years as a payload developer and systems engineer, and for the past eight years, in management and business development at Teledyne Brown Engineering of Huntsville, Ala.
A native of Moulton, Ala., Seabrook graduated from Lawrence County High School in Moulton. He earned a bachelor’s degree in metallurgical engineering from the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa in 1986.
He is a member of the National Space Club and the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics.
Seabrook and his wife, Lisa, live in Decatur. The couple has two children.
