Marketing and communications executive
Bringing category-defining technology to market, from spacecraft and autonomous trucks to aircraft and terahertz sensing.
Jason Wallace is a frontier technology marketing and communications executive and Chief Communications Officer of Calder & Moss, a strategic public relations agency for frontier technology companies. He led the public launch of SpaceX's Crew Dragon and introduced TuSimple's Autonomous Freight Network, then guided TuSimple through its Nasdaq IPO. At Natilus he led the rebrand and the launch of the HORIZON blended-wing-body aircraft, and at Teradar he led the company out of stealth with its first product, Teradar Summit. Across more than 15 years in space, aerospace, autonomy and electric vehicles, he has often been the first marketing hire and the executive CEOs trust with the public story.

SpaceX
At SpaceX, Jason was responsible for the marketing and public launch of Crew Dragon, the first commercial spacecraft designed to carry astronauts. That covered the messaging, video, digital experience and public narrative for the vehicle's unveiling.
He also supported executive and program communications across Falcon 9, Dragon cargo and commercial crew as SpaceX moved from cargo-only supplier to commercial human spaceflight provider. That experience shaped his approach to every launch since: technical credibility first, then a story people remember.
