Sheila Kahyaoglu - Jefferies LLC - Analyst
Good morning, everyone. This is Sheila Kahyaoglu with the Jefferies aerospace and defense research team. We have our first Annual Space Summit. And we have Peter Platzer, who's CEO of Spire here with us today, all the way from Luxembourg or thereabouts. We'll keep it vague for now, Peter.
He co-founded the company in 2012 with a vision to provide satellite-powered data from any location on earth. Peter is regarded as one of the pioneers in launching small form factor satellites into space, and he was named a White House Champion of Change in 2013. I won't dig too much into Peter's background, so we could get into what Spire is doing.
With that, Peter, thank you so much for being here with us this morning, and taking time out during some of your holiday.
