Rocket Lab,CEO,Work-Life Balance

Peter Beck, CEO of Rocket Lab, manages a demanding schedule of 12-20 hour workdays, but still prioritizes family dinners. The article explores his work-life balance strategies and the challenges of leading a high-stakes space exploration company.

A self-made billionaire CEO spends his days working long hours in his rocket company, but he still finds time for family dinners. Peter Beck, the 47-year-old founder of Rocket Lab, typically works 12- to 20-hour days, especially during busy periods leading up to rocket launches. A company spokesperson says Beck is 'a chronic workaholic' and 'paranoid about everything.' He rises each morning before 5 a.m.

and spends the bulk of his days at the office fretting over his business and the technical aspects of each rocket his company launches into space. Despite his demanding schedule, Beck makes an effort to have dinner with his family every night. He also tries to time his overseas trips for school holidays so his family can join him. 'I try and have dinner with the kids, for sure. There's little things like that,' Beck says. He admits that finding a healthy balance between work and personal life is difficult, but he makes it work by finding 'workarounds.' Many startup founders report working long hours and stressing over details. Beck's industry comes with an additional degree of difficulty: Each rocket launch could result in a potentially dangerous catastrophe. 'It's either right or it's international news, one of those two outcomes,' says Beck. 'So you'd best be checking thing three or four times.' Sometimes, launches have to be delayed until weather conditions are perfect and all safety checks are completed — meaning Beck has to be available at all hours. Beck's situation is perhaps an extreme version of a relatable challenge: Many working parents struggle to schedule extra time for themselves and their families
