mPower Technology Expands Senior Leadership Bench to Drive Scale-Up of Space Solar Manufacturing

New updates have been reported about mPower Technology.

mPower Technology has strengthened its executive team with four senior appointments aimed at accelerating the scale-up and commercialization of its DragonSCALES™ flexible space solar technology, following the launch of its automated, high-volume production line and a recent strategic investment from Lockheed Martin Ventures. The company named Scott Hughes as Chief Financial Officer, tasking him with overseeing financial planning, capital strategy, and operational finance to support production expansion and long-term growth; Hughes previously led finance and operations at venture-backed technology firms during periods of commercialization and scaling. James Heller joins as Chief Commercial Officer, bringing founder-operator experience and a track record of building new categories and scaling revenue, and will be responsible for commercial strategy, partnerships, and go-to-market execution across commercial, civil, and national security space customers to drive adoption of DragonSCALES™.

To support manufacturing and delivery at volume, mPower appointed former SunPower executive Jeff Cyran as Vice President of Supply Chain, where he will manage end-to-end supply chain strategy, procurement, logistics, and cost optimization for high-volume DragonSCALES™ production. In addition, space solar and spacecraft veteran Adriel Carreño becomes Vice President of Business Development, leveraging prior roles at Spectrolab and Boeing to lead growth initiatives and customer engagement aligned with key space market priorities. CEO Kevin Hell said 2025 was a pivotal year, citing the industrialization of mPower’s manufacturing footprint and the securing of strategic capital as catalysts, and emphasized that the expanded leadership team is intended to translate that momentum into operational scale and broader commercial impact. Collectively, these moves signal mPower’s intent to capitalize on rising demand for space-based solar power by institutionalizing financial discipline, tightening supply chain execution, and intensifying business development in mission-critical space programs.
