Loess Steinmetz is the head of the Department for Neurological Engineering, Weyland-Yutani Greater London Division (Alien: Covenant Origins novel, page 137).
Steinmetz was the last head of a department to sign off on commissioning Walter for the Covenant mission causing a delay in delivering Walter to the Covenant.
When pressed further by the Weyland-Yutani rep, Loess Steinmetz, said:
"'Sometimes I think I should have skipped engineering and joined my father's medical practice in Frankenstein.'
Harbison was taken aback. 'In where?'
He smiled at her startled response.
'Frankenstein. It's a small town in the mountains west of Heidelberg.'"
There are aspects of the castle in Frankenstein that tend towards the concepts (or hopes) seen in Weyland-Yutani's intent in their attempt to harness the positive aspects of the mutagen, specifically the concept of the fountain of youth.
The Insurance Payout from the Prometheus Mission Loss Funded Walter’s Development
“Both Gilead and Harbison preferred to refer to the Prometheus mission as “inconclusive,” even though that ship and its crew were considered lost by nearly everyone else, including the expedition’s insurers.
Harbison smiled to herself. Peter would have been pleased to learn that the bulk of the policy payout had been directed into the Walter project’s fund, giving it a financial boost just when it was needed.”
