Globalstar Announces Expansion of Leadership Team
Globalstar, Inc. (NASDAQ:GSAT) ("Globalstar" or the "Company"), a next-generation telecommunications infrastructure and technology provider, today announced two new leaders for its terrestrial spectrum and network solutions and wholesale satellite capacity businesses.
The terrestrial spectrum and network solutions business aims to deliver transformative, innovative private wireless network solutions enabled by Globalstar's XCOM RAN and Band n53 assets. The wholesale satellite capacity business aims to broaden access to Globalstar's satellite solutions for consumers through strategic wholesale partnerships.
The terrestrial spectrum and network solutions business will be led by Dr. Tamer Kadous, Vice President and General Manager. Kadous brings over two decades of experience in wireless communications, having previously served as Vice President of Wireless Engineering at XCOM Labs and Senior Director of Engineering at Qualcomm. He holds a Ph.D. in wireless communications and is a graduate of the Wharton School's General Management Program.
"Dr. Tamer Kadous has been instrumental in building XCOM RAN technology from its earliest days, and he has already demonstrated success in integrating this product into our portfolio, greatly expanding our capabilities in terrestrial and private networking solutions," Globalstar CEO Dr. Paul E. Jacobs said. "His creativity, drive and commitment to the strategy of co-development with lead customers has resulted in a commercial offering built for a fraction of the cost of competing solutions. His deep technical expertise and leadership experience are invaluable as we scale our capabilities."
The wholesale satellite capacity business will be led by Daaman Hejmadi, Vice President and General Manager. Prior to joining Globalstar, Hejmadi held various executive positions, including Vice President of Engineering at Qualcomm, where he revolutionized Qualcomm's development landscape by transforming the Bangalore design center from a small augmentation team to a roughly 4,000-head engineering powerhouse, contributing roughly $12 billion of revenue. He also served as a corporate vice president at Intel, where he managed 10,000 engineers across 30+ sites to propel the recovery of Intel's process technology leadership by creating a development platform for their customers and contributing roughly $10 billion of revenue.
"We are pleased to announce that Daaman Hejmadi will be joining Globalstar as our new Vice President and General Manager of the wholesale satellite capacity business," Jacobs said. "He brings over 30 years of experience in the telecommunications industry with broad technical and management experience, and a sharp focus on customer needs. Hejmadi has a long track record of building and managing high performing organizations to deliver highly complex technical products at scale, with predictable, high quality, and repeatable results."
