Maxar Technologies (NYSE:MAXR) (TSX:MAXR), a trusted partner and
innovator in Earth Intelligence and Space technologies, today
announced that Daniel Nord will join the company as Senior Vice
President, Chief Product Officer, effective May 24.
Nord joins from Amazon where he first led Product Management for
Games and then served as GM for Amazon Kids and Family’s Mobile,
Content and International divisions. In that role, Nord led a
Product Management organization that tripled the mobile subscriber
base, expanded the service to Europe and Asia and released Amazon’s
first original franchise, spanning games, shows, books and
merchandise. Prior to Amazon, Nord spent 7 years at Electronic Arts
as a studio GM and head of Product Management for Mobile and VR. He
has a Master of Business Administration from Stanford University
Graduate School of Business and a Bachelor of Science in Computer
Science and Engineering from University of Pennsylvania.
In his new role leading the Earth Intelligence Product
organization at Maxar, Nord will drive strategy and vision for
Maxar's product roadmap and user experience to accelerate growth
across its government and commercial technology customers. He will
lead a team of approximately 400 employees at several Maxar
locations in the U.S. and Sweden.
Jeff Culwell, who has been with Maxar for 22 years, stepped in
to lead the Product organization in 2019. In that role he enabled
the company to operationalize IP to power new products and
solutions and drove key technology and infrastructure gains. The
Maxar team is grateful for Jeff's leadership and looks forward to
his ongoing contributions as he transitions to a new position in
the chief technology office, where he will focus on strategic
engineering and internal research and development programs.
“Daniel Nord’s keen understanding and successful track record
with immersive, digital product lines will be invaluable as we
continue to expand our Earth Intelligence product roadmap and scale
our offerings in new and existing markets,” said Dan Jablonsky,
Maxar CEO. “Maxar’s momentum with the U.S. Army’s digital training
environment, One World Terrain, demonstrates the convergence of our
existing 3D technologies, world-leading data capabilities and
unique IP. As we continue to develop The Digital Globe™, a
highly-accurate, 3D, digital twin of the Earth, we see great
opportunities to grow product offerings with existing customers and
expand into adjacent markets like gaming, augmented reality and
autonomous navigation.”
“Maxar’s 30 cm and 15 cm HD WorldView satellite data, 3D
capabilities and unique georegistration IP are key to solving
customer problems across the planet. They also enable AI and ML
algorithms to more effectively produce high-accuracy, derivative
products for a variety of applications and solve customer needs at
speed and at scale,” said Daniel Nord. “Maxar is the only company
out there doing this with global reach, and I’m excited to show how
we can grow the business with existing and new solutions for
defense, intelligence and technology customers.”
