Huge catch for them. He's from Arianespace's US arm.

Clay Mowry, head of Arianespace Inc/USA for 15 yrs, leaving to join Blue Origin.

Lots of KSC workers going to BO too, apparently very good money on offer.

I think what struck me the most was that Stéphane Israël (CEO, Arianespace)  was super gracious about it, wishing Clay all the best in his new job (at a competitor no less)...  Class act.

Bucking the trend on pay. Hopefully it works out well as a race to the bottom in pay doesn't bode well for the industry in the long term.
