True Anomaly, Inc. has appointed Mark Seidel as the company’s first Chief Financial Officer to spearhead the firm’s continued growth.
Seidel brings extensive financial and operational expertise to True Anomaly’s team of top talent. With years of experience working with deep technology businesses, he offers unique perspectives on how to manage, grow, and scale startups. At a time when the space security industry is experiencing unprecedented growth, Seidel’s number one priority is to ensure True Anomaly is well capitalized and resourced for success at every phase.
Most recently, Seidel served as Vice President of Finance and Strategy at Relativity Space, where he helped scale the business from 200 to 1,000+ employees and raise more than $1.1 billion in equity capital. Prior to this, he oversaw finance and accounting at a venture-backed startup in Los Angeles and spent more than seven years with Goldman Sachs, where he served as a Vice President in the Investment Banking Division and as the Business Unit Manager for the firm’s West Region. He has advised on more than $40 billion of transactions that span M&A and financing in the public and private markets.
Seidel will oversee True Anomaly’s finance and accounting functions, leading financial strategy, corporate development, business operations, investor relations, and capital markets and allocation efforts.
“The U.S., its allies, and partners are faced with an increasingly complex space domain and, thus, the critical need for specialized technology to help secure and sustain it. Mark brings the knowledge and passion to help us deliver and scale True Anomaly’s solutions at this significant inflection point for national security and the new space economy.” — Even Rogers, Co-Founder and CEO, True Anomaly
“True Anomaly’s ambition to become the next defense prime and solve some of space security’s most pressing problems is inspiring, and I’m proud to work with a team whose dedication and deep industry knowledge are bringing critical solutions to market. I fundamentally believe True Anomaly is well positioned to not only build a large, enduring business but also to make a difference in the world, and I’m thrilled to join that effort.” — Mark Seidel, CFO, True Anomaly
