I am proud to lead Investor Relations (IR) for the premier satellite services company in mobile data and voice connectivity. Iridium completed the largest "technology refresh" in space in 2019, replacing its network of 66 operational low-earth-orbit (LEO) satellites with next-generation capabilities to extend its leadership in IoT and mobile satellite services. This $3 billion program was unparalleled in its scope and complexity and secures Iridium's industry leadership position and ongoing market gains.At the heart of Iridium's IR program is regular communications with institutional investors. Salient messaging, a focus on education and targeted outreach have supported the expansion of Iridium's valuation during my tenure. Investors have come to understand the unique value of Iridium's one-of-a-kind global constellation, the reliability of our mission-critical applications (via L-band), the durability of our enterprise-grade applications and the low latency of our LEO network. Growing knowledge Iridium's wide competitive moat has helped to broaden the Company's institutional ownership and augment knowledge of Iridium's unique network capabilities. Equity investors have been rewarded with compounded annual growth exceeding all satellite peers.As Iridium's IRO, I am responsible for all aspects of financial communications, investor marketing and disclosure. My timely advisory and market research on competitive dynamics, industry peers, business partners and capital market trends support Iridium's strategic decision-making and public positioning. The satellite industry is immensely complex and requires a strong understanding of aerospace science, radio spectrum, telecom policy and regulations. Together, with knowledge of the dozens of end-market applications that Iridium enables, I have enjoyed success in building durable investor relationships, educating analysts and attracting capital, which has resulted in a quadrupling of IRDM's market cap during my tenure.
