Ian Stammers Talent Advisory Limited

Helping space and deep-tech companies build exceptional teams.

Ian Stammers Talent Advisory partners with founders, CEOs and leadership teams across the global space, satellite communications and deep-tech sectors to solve one of their biggest challenges: attracting and retaining exceptional talent.

With more than 27 years of international recruitment and talent leadership experience, I have helped organisations scale from early-stage startups to global enterprises, supporting more than 500 hires across 40+ countries. My experience spans commercial space, satellite communications, Earth observation, defence, aerospace and other mission-critical technology sectors.

Unlike traditional recruitment agencies, I work as a strategic talent partner, combining executive search with practical talent advisory to help businesses build scalable hiring strategies that support long-term growth.
