For Alexis Livanos, becoming president of Northrop Grumman Space Technology last year was a homecoming of sorts. Before stints at Boeing Satellite Systems and Space Systems/Loral, Livanos was deputy general manager at the former TRW Space and Electronics Group, the legendary Space Park operation that Northrop Grumman acquired in 2002. Today Livanos, 57, is in charge of the 9,000 men and women who work on the Space Park campus in Redondo Beach, Calif., on high-profile U.S. civil and military satellite systems, including the $4.5 billion James Webb Space Telescope and the National Polar-orbiting Operational Environmental Satellite System (NPOESS).
