    Maxar Intelligence has named Dan Smoot as CEO. Daniel Jablonsky, who has been serving as interim CEO, will transition to the board of directors.

    “Dan Smoot is a proven leader who brings a commercial approach to delivering innovative technology solutions for national security and other government missions, and his relentless focus on execution and operational excellence makes him well-suited to lead Maxar Intelligence in the next phase of its growth,” said Bob Hitt, chair of Maxar Intelligence board of directors.

    Smoot has over 30 years of management experience, including senior executive positions at Salesforce, Cisco and VMWare. Most recently, he served as CEO of Riverbed Technology.

    “It’s a privilege to serve as CEO of Maxar Intelligence, and I’m looking forward to joining the company at this critical stage of its growth,” Smoot said. “Over my career, I’ve worked closely with national security and commercial customers to develop unique technology solutions that solve their biggest challenges and drive mission success,” he added. “It is an exciting time for the Maxar Intelligence team to deliver similar impact through innovative digital solutions that help customers unlock new value from the industry’s most advanced Earth intelligence data.”

    New additions to the management team in recent months include:

    • Mike Mohn, Chief Financial Officer
    • Susanne Hake, General Manager, U.S. Government
    • Anders Linder, General Manager, International Government
    • Scott Herman, Chief Product Officer
    • Anat Gan Eden, Chief Human Resources Officer
    • Will Cocos, Chief Transformation Officer

    “We have carefully selected this senior leadership team to grow Maxar’s position as the world leader in secure, precise geospatial intelligence with new mission-focused solutions and digital platforms that help customers generate more insights from our best-in-class data, faster,” said Shonnel Malani, managing partner and global head of Advent International’s aerospace and defense team.
