WHO WE ARE
An aerospace engineer from background, Jean-Philippe started his career with the French aerospace industry, before switching to an international path. He holds an MBA from INSEAD and Tsinghua University and a Master in Aerospace Engineering from Ecole Centrale Paris.
After fifteen years in the automotive industry spent between Europe and China, Jean-Philippe moved back to the space industry with the global communications satellite operator SES, in a Business and Corporate Development position with focus on the Asia-Pacific region.
Jean-Philippe then founded Sperantia Space Solutions in 2018 to serve space projects in Asia and beyond, leveraging experience in satellite business development and passion for new space.
Sperantia’s initial projects ranged from consulting for GEO satellite operators to developing business for on-orbit services start-ups and leading overseas market access for new launch services companies in China.

Established in Singapore since 2014, Jean-Philippe is father of four children, passionate about space history and rocket building, and thrilled about the potential that lays ahead in terms of transforming mankind into a cosmic species.
Sperantia Space Solutions brings to space projects sound business acumen, deep knowledge of the global launch and satellite industry, and a worldwide network of potential partners and customers.
Jean-Philippe created Sperantia Ltd in January 2018 in Hong Kong with the objective to offer
