Momentus Founder + Director Resigns – New CEO Named

January 26, 2021

Chief Executive Officer Mikhail Kokorich has resigned as the Director and Founder of Momentus.

Mikhail Kokorich

The departure of Kokorich is see as the company attempting to ameliorate their regulatory reviews by the U.S. government, given that Kokorich is a Russian citizen and that fact had caused some concerns regarding foreign ownership of the company and US national security, especially as discussions by Momentus and Stable Road Acquisition have revolved around a potential merger of the two firms.

Dawn Harms

Taking Kokorich’s position is Dawn Harms who was the firm’s Chief Revenue Officer and is now the interim Chief Executive Officer as well as a member of the Momentus Board of Directors.
