Telesat has appointed Charles “Chuck” Cynamon as president of Telesat Government Solutions, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Telesat.
“Throughout his distinguished career, Chuck has been a trusted advisor to senior military leaders on cutting-edge technologies that advance important U.S. security interests and counter emerging threats,” said Telesat President and CEO Dan Goldberg. “With his proven track record of building highly effective teams, forging strategic partnerships and capturing new business, he is the right leader to accelerate awareness and integration of Telesat Lightspeed capabilities with U.S. government customers.”
Cynamon has over 24 years of service in the U.S. Air Force and a subsequent decade working with leading space and satellite enterprises.
Most recently, he was senior vice president at LinQuest Corp., where he led the company’s largest division and the development of Allied Space partnerships. He also served as vice president, business development and strategy for MacDonald Dettwiler & Associates Information Systems.
“The advanced security features, performance and network resiliency of the Telesat Lightspeed network provide a compelling value proposition for defense missions,” Cynamon said. “I’m honored and excited to lead Telesat Government Solutions as we bring the latest-generation of commercial LEO capabilities to the U.S. military, intelligence and civil sectors.”
