- Peter Beck is the founder and CEO of Rocket Lab USA, which develops and launches rockets, satellites and other spacecraft for government and commercial customers.
- The New Zealand native launched Rocket Lab in 2006, moved its headquarters to California in 2013 and took it public via a SPAC merger that valued the company at $4.1 billion in 2021.
- Beck owns nearly 10% of Rocket Lab, which generated $436 million of revenue in 2024 and is the third most frequent orbital launcher globally behind SpaceX and the Chinese government.
- Rocket Lab, which is known for its smaller launch vehicles, plans to debut a larger rocket called Neutron in 2025, enabling the company to compete more directly with the giants of its industry.
- A self-taught engineer, Beck skipped college in 1993 and built rockets in his spare time, while working for a decade at an appliance manufacturer and government research institute in New Zealand.
