Inovor Technologies graduates from Lockheed’s mentor program

Inovor Technologies has graduated from the Lockheed Martin Mentor Protégé Program, becoming the third Australian company to achieve this milestone. Inovor’s leadership team completed an intensive 12-month mentoring program with Lockheed Martin subject matter experts in Australia and the United States. The tailored program covered core capabilities, including human resource processes, business ethics, contracting, product management, export controls, quality management systems, supply chain risk management, competitive intelligence and cyber security readiness. “This Mentor Protégé Program achievement demonstrates Inovor’s dedication to becoming a world-class technology innovator,” said Warren McDonald, Chief Executive, Lockheed Martin Australia and New Zealand. “Lockheed Martin Australia is proud to partner with leading small and medium-sized enterprises across the region to deliver a strategic uplift in capabilities that strengthens Australia’s sovereign defence and space industries.” “By accelerating the development of core SME capabilities, the Mentor Protégé Program delivers an immediate strategic impact for participants with their existing customers, while creating the potential for new export opportunities to the United States and beyond,” said David Ball, Lockheed Martin Australia’s regional director for Space. “Throughout the program, Inovor Technologies demonstrated their ability to learn, adapt and grow, reinforcing their potential to compete in space and defence industries globally.” “We’re grateful to Lockheed Martin for the opportunity to participate in the Mentor Protégé Program and develop the capabilities we need to take our business to the next level,” said Matt Tetlow, Founder and CEO of Inovor Technologies. “By accessing Lockheed Martin’s world-class subject matter experts, we have taken a major step forward in the capacity and competency of our leadership team that will significantly accelerate our ability to innovate and grow.” Inovor’s participation in the Mentor Protégé Program was jointly sponsored by Lockheed Martin Space and Lockheed Martin Australia’s Office of Australian Industrial Participation through the Global Supply Chain Program.
