Former Citigroup executive joins to drive growth and financial strategy as Rendezvous scales orbital infrastructure operations. 

GOLDEN, Colo., November 12, 2025 — Rendezvous Robotics, the company building scalable, adaptive infrastructure in orbit, today announced the appointment of Sean Rogers as Chief Financial Officer (CFO). Rogers brings more than 25 years of experience in global finance, capital markets, and strategy.  As CFO, he will oversee financial operations and business strategy as the company advances toward commercial deployment of its autonomous in-space assembly systems. 

The appointment follows Rendezvous’ recently announced partnership with Starcloud, focused on enabling large-scale data centers in orbit — a milestone that drew widespread attention across the space and technology industries. Together, the two announcements reflect the company’s accelerating momentum and leadership in building scalable, adaptable infrastructure beyond Earth. 

“As Rendezvous enters its next phase of growth, we wanted a financial leader with both global perspective and operational precision,” said Phil Frank, CEO and Co-Founder of Rendezvous Robotics. “Sean’s record of funding, structuring, and scaling high-value technology businesses makes him uniquely equipped to help us execute at scale.” "

Together, the companies aim to demonstrate how in-space assembly can overcome the mass, cooling, and scalability constraints that limit both terrestrial and satellite-based systems — enabling continuous, high-efficiency computing and energy generation in orbit. The collaboration advances a shared vision of gigawatt-scale orbital systems capable of powering the next generation of AI, communications, and industrial platforms beyond Earth.

“Rendezvous is solving one of the most compelling challenges in space — how we build beyond the limits of launch,” said Rogers. “It’s rare to find a company uniting such technical rigor with vision. I’m honored to help bring that mission to scale.” 

Rogers joins a leadership team that includes founders Dr. Ariel Ekblaw, Phil Frank, and Joe Landon, who together bring flight-proven technology, deep capital experience, and operational scale to the emerging orbital infrastructure economy.
