‘Gradatim Ferociter!’ Jeff Bezos Welcomes Ex-ULA CEO Bruno to Blue Origin in New Role
Tory Bruno will lead Blue Origin’s new National Security Group to accelerate innovative defense technology, following his resignation as ULA CEO after completing key goals.
- Dec. 26, 2025, Blue Origin announced it hired Tory Bruno as president of national security, reporting to CEO Dave Limp and leading a newly formed National Security Group.
- After nearly a decade at United Launch Alliance , Bruno wrote on Dec. 22, 2025, that he was leaving after nearly 12 years as CEO because `My duty was complete`.
- The NSSL procurement covers a $13.7 billion pool including more than 54 expected missions, but New Glenn, Blue Origin's heavy-lift orbital rocket, has flown twice and has yet to be certified for NSSL work.
- Limp framed the hire as accelerating delivery, welcoming Bruno's unmatched experience to Blue Origin's National Security Group, while Bruno wrote `Can't wait to get started.` emphasizing urgent national-security capabilities.
- Bruno's hire intensifies competition in the national-security launch market as Blue Origin, which holds a $10.2 billion lunar lander contract and more than $2 billion in National Security Space Launch-related work, leverages his experience against United Launch Alliance.
