Dr. MacDougall brings over two decades of leadership experience in human resources, operations, and organizational strategy. Her career spans a wide range of industries—including automotive, solar, and manufacturing—where she has consistently driven transformative people initiatives and operational excellence. Most recently, she served as Head of People Strategy at Karma Automotive, a luxury electric vehicle manufacturer, where she led HR for a fast-paced startup environment and championed culture, talent development, and DEI efforts.
“Kathy is a dynamic leader who understands the power of people in driving performance,” said Peter Krauss, President and CEO at Terran Orbital. “Her proven track record in aligning people strategy with business outcomes will be instrumental as we continue our growth trajectory.”
Dr. MacDougall holds a Doctorate in Organizational Leadership, an Executive MBA, and certifications in Alternative Dispute Resolution and Gallup CliftonStrengths coaching.

Kathy will succeed Andrea Law, who has served as Interim Vice President of Human Resources since Terran Orbital’s merger with Lockheed Martin. Andrea will return to her regular responsibilities at Lockheed Martin following a successful leadership transition. “We are deeply grateful to Andrea for her dedication and steady leadership during this pivotal chapter for Terran Orbital,” said Peter Krauss. “Her support through the merger has been invaluable, and she will forever be a part of the Terran family.”
