Joshua Benegal Marks, commonly known as Josh, is a seasoned aviation, connectivity, and space-industry executive who currently serves as Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and Director of FutureCorp Space Acquisition 1 (NYSE: FTRA), a special purpose acquisition company targeting businesses in the industrial space economy. He was appointed to the SPAC's board at inception on March 12, 2026, and has held the CEO and CFO roles since April 2026. FutureCorp Space Acquisition 1 filed its S-1 on May 20, 2026, initially seeking to raise $200 million through 20 million units priced at $10 each, with each unit comprising one share of Class A common stock and one-half of one warrant exercisable at $11.50. The offering was ultimately upsized and completed on June 8, 2026, raising $230 million in its initial public offering, with units trading on the NYSE under the symbol FTRA.U. The SPAC is sponsored by FutureCorp Space Acquisition 1 LLC and is chaired by Sudhin R. Shahani, co-founder of Surf Air Mobility (NYSE: SRFM), with David Anderman, John Tuttle, and Shawn Pelsinger serving as board members and Matt Long as General Counsel. Cantor Fitzgerald acted as sole book-running manager. The SPAC's investment criteria target companies with valuations exceeding $1 billion, tangible revenue and contracts, dual-use applications across government and private sectors, and capital structures compatible with de-SPAC transactions.
In parallel with his SPAC leadership role, Marks has served as CEO of Anuvu (formerly Global Eagle Entertainment), a provider of satellite-based connectivity and media solutions to the aviation and maritime industries, for approximately eight years. In that capacity he has overseen strategic decisions around passenger connectivity and media services, as discussed in company communications addressing 2025 operational priorities and 2026 outlook. Prior to his tenure at Anuvu, Marks served as Executive Vice President of Connectivity at Global Eagle Entertainment beginning in 2017. He was also the founder of Global Eagle Entertainment Operations Solutions, Inc., which he established in 2010, serving as its Chief Executive Officer and Director. Earlier in his career, Marks held the position of Executive Vice President at MAXjet Airways. He is also identified as a Managing Director at FutureCorp LLC, the permanent capital platform for the industrial space economy that sponsors the SPAC.
Marks holds a Bachelor of Arts degree and a Master of Business Administration degree from Harvard University, having completed his MBA at Harvard Business School from 1997 to 1999. His professional skill set encompasses aviation, airlines, airports, flight operations, and program management, reflecting a career deeply rooted in the aerospace and connectivity sectors. Based in Los Angeles, California, Marks can be reached through FutureCorp's offices at 8605 Santa Monica Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA 90069. His career trajectory spans from founding and leading an in-flight connectivity and entertainment company through its evolution into Anuvu, and now extending into the public markets via the SPAC vehicle, where he is leveraging his operational and industry expertise to identify and combine with a high-caliber target company in the growing industrial space economy.
This record is keyed to SEC CIK 0001678650 — the identifier this person files under in their own name. Every vehicle above is a filing made under that CIK, so “the same person on two shells” is a fact about an SEC identifier rather than about a name that happens to match.
Roles are the strings the filings used, in the order they were filed. Nothing on this page ranks them, infers seniority, or offers a reason why any two of these names recur — a recurrence is a count, and the filings that produced it are linked beside every row. We also hold 6 institutional-holder rows on these vehicles, under 5 distinct name strings, and none of them is counted across vehicles: that table has no CIK column, and matching holders by name would merge firms that are not the same firm.
