DigitalGlobe (NYSE: DGI), a leading global provider of
high-resolution earth imagery solutions, today announced the
addition of three new senior leaders to its management team.
Marcy Steinke joins the company as senior vice president of
government relations. Steinke is a retired U.S. Air Force colonel
with 25 years of experience within the Department of Defense. She
served as director of congressional legislative affairs for the
chairman and the vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Most
recently, she served Presidents Bush and Obama as director of the
White House Operations Directorate.
Steinke will focus on enhancing the company's ties with key
leaders throughout the U.S. government (USG), help maximize the
value delivered by DigitalGlobe to the EnhancedView program, and
support the company's goals for growing its USG customer base.
EnhancedView is the contracting vehicle through which the USG
procures global, unclassified, shareable imagery that is delivered
on-demand.
Tim Hascall joins DigitalGlobe as senior vice president of
operations. Hascall will focus on further enhancing the company's
operational capabilities to support growth.
Prior to joining DigitalGlobe, Hascall served for many years as
an executive in the electronics, high technology and healthcare
industries. Most recently, he was a division president at TriZetto,
an enterprise software company serving healthcare needs for nearly
150 million Americans. He served as an intelligence officer in the
U.S. Marine Corps, achieving the rank of major, having spent nearly
five years commanding an imagery analysis unit. Hascall began his
commercial career with Accenture in 1985, serving as a partner from
1996-2001.
Grover Wray joins DigitalGlobe as chief human resources officer.
Wray will focus on further developing the company's culture of
leadership, while continuing to attract, hire and retain top talent
globally. Wray was previously executive vice president of human
resources at Western Union. Prior to that he was chief human
resources officer with the North American division of Heidrick
& Struggles, and was managing partner of human resources at
Arthur Andersen.
Steinke, Hascall and Wray report directly to President and CEO
Jeff Tarr.
"People are the foundation for our success, so I'm especially
proud to announce Marcy, Tim and Grover -- three of the most
talented and accomplished professionals in their respective fields
-- have chosen to join DigitalGlobe," said Tarr. "They will play a
critical role in advancing our strategy and building customer and
shareowner value."
