An interview with Advocate Yvette Barrington-Brown, CEO of NewCraft Aerospace and Cape Constellation, and one of the emerging leaders helping shape Africa's commercial space ecosystem.

Yvette's career is anything but conventional. After more than 25 years as an Advocate of the High Court of South Africa, where she specialized in complex litigation, governance, regulatory strategy, and institutional leadership, she made the bold decision to transition into the space sector.

Today, she leads NewCraft Aerospace and Cape Constellation—a collaborative innovation hub dedicated to building Africa's next generation of space companies through venture creation, mentorship, investment, and ecosystem development. Together with Africa Space Ventures, these initiatives aim to strengthen Africa's sovereign space capabilities while creating globally competitive businesses rooted on the continent.

Her journey is one of reinvention, resilience, entrepreneurship, and purpose—demonstrating that building a thriving space ecosystem requires not only engineers and scientists, but also visionary leaders who understand governance, institutions, investment, and long-term strategy.
