The USSRC has been without a CEO since August of 2025 (when Dr. Kimberly Robinson stepped down). Today marks the end of a 9+ month long process to fill the position.

Tucker, who is currently the president of Pinnacle Solutions, rose above her competition during the “comprehensive competitive search” put on by the Commission.

Along with her 20+ years of experience in aerospace, defense and training systems development, she also has deep roots in Huntsville.

“The U.S. Space & Rocket Center deserves visionary, energetic, and effective leadership, and that is exactly what Tina Tucker brings.”

Rey Almodóvar, Chair of the U.S. Space & Rocket Center board

Tina Tucker will officially step into the role on July 6.
