Eric Ingram

Eric Ingram is an aerospace entrepreneur, strategist, and speaker who brings a perspective shaped by both technical rigor and lived experience as a person with a disability.

As the founder and former CEO of Scout Space, Ingram helped define an entirely new category in orbital safety and in-space operations, influencing how governments, commercial companies, and investors operate in Earth orbit. Today, through his firm Ingram Insights, he works with founders, investors, and leaders facing high-stakes decisions, helping them cut through noise, navigate uncertainty, and move forward with clarity.

Ingram’s work extends beyond business into expanding who gets to participate in the future. Through his leadership with AstroAccess, he has flown on zero-gravity research campaigns advancing human spaceflight accessibility. He also serves as a board member of 2Gether-International, supporting entrepreneurs with disabilities, and is a former president of the United States Wheelchair Rugby Association.

Across his career and life, Ingram has consistently chosen to operate in environments that demand precision, adaptability, and resilience, from aviation to competitive sport to building companies in emerging industries. That throughline shapes how he thinks, how he leads, and how he challenges others to operate.

On stage, Ingram doesn’t stay in one lane. He speaks about decision-making under uncertainty, leadership in ambiguous environments, inclusion as a driver of innovation, and the realities of building something new when there is no clear path. His talks are grounded in real experience and built to resonate beyond any single industry, leaving audiences with sharper instincts, better questions, and a clearer sense of how to move forward in their own work and lives.
