I was brought on board to helm a NASDAQ-listed Global Mobile Satellite Services (MSS) provider, overseeing a workforce of over 600 employees spread across 12 offices worldwide. Recognizing the need for strategic repositioning, I spearheaded a comprehensive overhaul of the company's business plan and corporate strategy. This transformation focused on transitioning the company into a Mobile Internet and Data Services business model, a move that not only revitalized our market position but also resulted in substantial cost savings of over $800 million in funding requirements for the launch of new services.Amidst challenging financial circumstances, I took proactive measures to safeguard the company's future. In a groundbreaking move for a UK-based firm, I made the strategic decision to initiate a voluntary filing for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy in the United States, ensuring the preservation of ICO's viability during this tumultuous period.Subsequently, I negotiated a significant transaction that would reshape ICO's ownership landscape. By orchestrating the sale of a majority stake (76%) to a consortium led by Craig McCaw and international investors, we achieved an enterprise valuation of $1.6 billion. This pivotal move marked a successful exit from Chapter 11 proceedings in May 2000, setting the stage for ICO's continued growth and success in the global market.

As President of Loral Orion Network Systems (LONS), I assumed full P&L and management responsibility for the company's global operations, overseeing a $100M+ business with 400+ employees across 20+ offices worldwide. Prior to my presidency, I served as President and Geschaftsfuhrer at Loral Orion Network Systems Europe, GmbH in Hanover, Germany. In this role, I led EMEA operations, managing a team of 150+ employees across 11 offices, and driving over 75% of the company’s orders, revenues, and profitability. Additionally, I orchestrated the acquisition of Teleport Europe, a German-based satellite networking services company, negotiating favorable terms and seamlessly integrating its operations into Loral Orion. Notably, I spearheaded the delivery of internet connectivity via satellite to over 70 countries before the deployment of undersea fiber-optic cables. I also intrduced groundbreaking services such as "DirectNet," the satellite industry’s inaugural internet service for international ISPs, "WorldCast," the first asymmetric internet service via satellite, and the industry's maiden satellite-based VPN service (VISN).

Orion emerged as the premier provider of satellite-delivered internet connectivity, linking ISPs in over 70 countries to the US-based internet via satellite. I played a central role in crafting the business plan and securing initial funding for this US-based satellite communications firm. Orchestrating global operations, I established a robust sales and distribution network, propelling Orion to become synonymous with internet satellite services. Witnessing exponential growth, Orion burgeoned sales by over 1000% within two years, connecting over 100 ISPs across 75 countries to the US internet by 1998. Additionally, I actively participated in Orion's Initial Public Offering (IPO) in 1995, raising $50 million in capital and securing a listing on NASDAQ. We subsequently raised $710 million through public bond markets to finance satellite construction and launches in regions spanning the Asia Pacific, Latin America, and the FSU. My instrumental role culminated in the $1.3 billion sale of Orion Network Systems, Inc. to Loral Space and Communications Ltd.
