Dr. Monika Hofmann

Dr. Monika Hofmann is an international strategy leader and the President & CEO of Axia Consult, a U.S.-based consulting firm operating globally with advisors across the United States, Europe, and Australia. She works at the intersection of space domain awareness (SDA), emerging technologies, and national security innovation, advising government agencies, industry partners, research institutes, and investors on the development and deployment of next-generation capabilities.

A specialist in proliferated space architectures, resilient sensing, and advanced onboard processing, Dr. von Hofmann plays an active role in shaping strategies around the Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture (PWSA), constellation‑scale SIGINT and ISR, quantum-enhanced navigation, and neuromorphic computing for on-orbit autonomy. Her work bridges technical insight with policy, acquisition pathways, and international coordination—connecting U.S. government stakeholders with key partners across the AUKUS and Five Eyes communities.

Through Axia Consult, she leads initiatives that position advanced technologies—including quantum sensors, neuromorphic processors, AI/ML-enabled mission systems, and dual‑use environmental and medical applications—for real-world adoption. Her firm serves as a nexus between cutting-edge innovators, defense integrators, sovereign investors, and national programs seeking to accelerate capability development and reduce time-to-fielding in contested operational environments.

Dr. von Hofmann is recognized for her ability to translate complex science and engineering into strategic implementation plans, competitive positioning, and actionable roadmaps for leadership. She is a trusted advisor to senior executives, program offices, principal investigators, and founders navigating both U.S. and international ecosystems.

A multilingual communicator (fluent in more than 7 languages) she is known for her diplomatic, globally engaged style and her capacity to foster collaboration across cultures, agencies, and industry sectors. She regularly contributes to cross-national dialogues, investment engagements, and strategic partnerships in space systems, high‑tech innovation, and defense modernization.

Dr. Hofmann holds an MD and PhD, and her career reflects a consistent focus on mission-driven science, technology, and international cooperation. She is deeply committed to applying advanced technologies—whether for security, environmental resilience, medical innovation, or global infrastructure—for the long-term benefit of allied nations and society.
