Husband and father, adventurer, retired Air Force Officer. I’m trying my best to love people well, and that includes people who rely on U.S. space systems. I love space operations, rapid acquisition projects, and guiding the development of future space systems, but I’d be lying if I said I loved it more than a powder day with my family.
Difference-Makers Work Here
Our employees make an impact on their customers' missions every day.
Bill Brogan
President and Chief Executive Officer
Veteran, family man, dog whisperer. Bill launched InSPIRE in 2010 after 20+ years in the US Air Force. He's as well-versed in satellite acquisition, launch, and operations as he is in raising daughters and training puppies.
Paul Adams
Chief Operating Officer & VP, DoD Programs
Colorado local, father, traveler. Paul's expertise in space systems and operations management is rivaled only by his knowledge of the Colorado backcountry.
Max Gimelshteyn
Chief Technology Officer & VP, Intelligence Programs
Officer (ret), extrovert, tinkerer. Max's 20+ years as a program manager, engineer, and acquisitions lead gives him plenty of stories to share. But he'd rather talk about his homemade computer.
Employee Spotlight
Kneil Novak, Systems Engineer
What drew you to work for InSPIRE and what keeps you here?
My parents owned a small business when I was a kid, and the employees became our extended family. InSPIRE has that same feel. I’m not just an InSPIRE employee, I’m part of the InSPIRE family. I had known Bill, Paul, and Max for a while and knew they were people of character, and fun to be around. It turns out we have a whole company of people like that. I’ve heard it said that culture beats strategy. We have a great culture.
What motivates you?
I’m motivated by a vision of a better future. Professionally, that means I want DoD and IC space systems to work better for the user community. Yes, we may be working on things that involve rocket science, but it shouldn’t be rocket science for the users. Integration and innovation are about empathy, putting myself in the shoes of people who have to understand what’s going on in the world whether they are policy makers, planners, or warfighters who want to do their job and get back to their family. I feel blessed to get to work on important things with amazing people every day.

What unique skills or experiences do you bring in support of your customers?
I think I bring a unique perspective to the problems we’re solving. I’ve operated space systems, and I’ve acquired them. I’ve been a Legislative Liaison talking to The Hill about the importance of our systems, and I’ve been on the ground in Afghanistan relying on them. Requirements, integration, innovation—it’s really all about getting the right people information they can make a decision on at the right time. I love to see people smile when a challenging problem is solved.
