CEO, VIRGIN GALACTIC
WHY: Longtime local Disney vet. Since 2016 served as chairman of UCI’s CEO Roundtable, which counts some 80 business leaders as members and is designed to support the development and well-being of UCI and area businesses.
RECENT: In July, tapped by Richard Branson’s $4B+ space tourism company that’s moving closer to debuting its commercial service. First non-Disney job in more than 30 years.
NOTABLE: The cost of a seat on the roughly two-hour spaceflight: about $250,000. Colglazier’s employment contract allows him a seat on a forthcoming spaceflight, with up to three guests.
