Dex Torricke-Barton spent the past half-decade writing speeches for two of the tech industry's most prominent CEOs. Now he's headed to SpaceX to run communications for a different one.

Torricke-Barton is taking the head communications job at SpaceX, the rocket and aerospace company run by CEO Elon Musk, the one that is trying to put humans on Mars. Torricke-Barton spent the last four years working at Facebook, primarily writing speeches for CEO Mark Zuckerberg, but also the company's other top executives.

He did the same at Google for then-CEO Eric Schmidt before that, and also spent three years working with the United Nations and its secretary-general.

Now Torricke-Barton will run his own comms team, which entails much more than writing speeches — but we assume he'll probably write a few speeches for Musk along the way, too.
