DigitalGlobe (NYSE: DGI), a leading global content provider of
high-resolution world imagery solutions, today announced the
appointment of John Oechsle to the position of Executive Vice
President, Strategy and Product. In his new role, Oechsle will
focus on developing and delivering value-added information and
insight solutions that map to customer needs. Additionally,
DigitalGlobe announced the availability of a position paper from
Oechsle examining the business value of critical information.
"John has a proven track record of growing sustainable revenues
profitably, and his understanding of both business and technology
are unmatched," said Jill Smith, CEO of DigitalGlobe. "In just a
few short weeks, John has totally immersed himself in the business
and culture of DigitalGlobe and is already leaving his mark. His
examination of the value of content is a perfect example of how he
will contribute to the company."
"As everyday business decisions become more and more complex,
critical information -- not just words and numbers but also visual
content -- is more important and more prevalent than ever before,"
said Oechsle. "In this piece, I examine how information providers
who deliver not just data, but also true insight, will be best
positioned for growth in today's market. I'm eager to help
DigitalGlobe achieve that growth."
As CIO at IHS, Oechsle gained considerable experience
understanding how information can quickly become commoditized.
Available on DigitalGlobe's website, Oechsle's position paper
examines the age of data overload and looks at the importance of
helping clients cut through the noise by providing insight in
addition to information.
Prior to joining DigitalGlobe, Oechsle has held executive
positions at both private and established Fortune 50 companies,
including Johnson & Johnson, Kellogg Company and LandAmerica
Financial Group. Most recently, Oechsle served as CIO and Senior
Vice President of Technology and Content for IHS where he was
responsible for all information technology, product development,
content operations and e-business on a worldwide basis.
