Jon Harr, MBA 2005, Operations Director – Andøya Spaceport

Fifty-year-old Jon Harr (MBA 05) comes from Oslo. After a career in engineering and then working as project director at the National Centre for Space Studies (French CNES) in Toulouse, he returned to Norway to head the Norwegian Space Agency. Since 2022, he has been Operations Director for Andøya Spaceport, the first spaceport to be established in continental Europe, located in the Vesterålen archipelago in northern Norway.

The company is currently preparing for the first-ever orbital launch of a telecommunications satellite from mainland Europe. Married to a French woman of Canadian descent, Jon is fluent in French and loves gypsy jazz as well as science fiction. He delivers a reserved yet beaming smile come rain or shine.
