Advise the CEO, manage a growing communications team, craft executive messaging, oversee brand and publishing, secure high-impact event presence, guide crisis communications, and define the 'integrated nuclear company' category across media, policy, and investor audiences.

Lead design-for-manufacturing and producibility for a liquid-metal fission reactor (ZMR). Influence geometry, tolerances, materials, joining/process selection, tooling, and cost-reduction strategy. Apply DFM/DFA/DFX, GD&T, tolerance stack-ups, PFMEA, and should-cost analysis. Drive make/buy, scale-up, and producibility-at-volume planning while collaborating with design, manufacturing, testing, QA, and regulators.

Lead origination, structuring, negotiation, and execution of large, long-term commercial agreements (PPAs, capacity agreements, development partnerships) for Zap's integrated fission and fusion platform. Build strategic customer relationships with hyperscalers, utilities, industrials, and government entities; develop commercial strategy, market prioritization, and deal frameworks; partner cross-functionally with engineering, finance, legal, and executive leadership; and scale the commercial organization as the company grows.
