Chidi Okonkwo

Chidi Okonkwo is VP of Sales, based at the Austin campus. He leads a global team that sells everything from single Wren Microlifters to fleets of Atlas Heavy Freighters, and personally closed Halcyon's largest freight order: forty Atlas hulls for a Belt logistics consortium.

Chidi focuses on total cost of ownership rather than sticker price and is often seen walking customers through fuel-burn figures. He speaks regularly at logistics and mining expos.

Chidi began his career selling atmospheric aircraft before moving to spacecraft and has built Halcyon's sales team from twelve people to more than two hundred. He is known for flying out to meet customers on their own routes, and his favourite question in any negotiation is simple: how much will this ship cost you per tonne, per AU, over twenty years?
