Globalstar, Inc. (NYSE American: GSAT) today announced Dave
Haight has joined Globalstar as vice president of IoT. Haight is a
prominent telecom and IoT industry leader, with extensive
experience driving network connectivity growth and developing
impactful strategies to build partner channels and strategic
relationships in IoT.
Haight joins Globalstar after his success developing the IoT
business at AT&T as well as other companies. He served as vice
president of business development for AT&T's Mobility Emerging
Devices Organization, where he initiated and grew the organization
into AT&T's current IoT business. This appointment further
solidifies Globalstar's commitment to expansion within the IoT
industry.
"Globalstar is executing on our plan to accelerate the
longer-term success of our satellite business. Last week we
announced plans for a new fleet of satellites with vendors MDA and
Rocket Lab, which will enhance, expand, and provide long-term
certainty to our operations. And today, to further advance our IoT
growth strategy, we add Dave Haight to our executive team. Dave
brings deep industry knowledge and extensive relationships across
the sector. We view Globalstar as having four pillars of value: the
legacy satellite business which includes Duplex and SPOT services,
commercial IoT, our arrangement with a potential customer discussed
in our regulatory filings and terrestrial spectrum. We are
confident that Dave will help us drive the commercial IoT pillar to
great success," said Dave Kagan, Globalstar CEO.
In Haight’s role at AT&T, he launched devices and
connectivity solutions in key market segments, including
automotive, tracking systems and healthcare. Before this role,
Haight was responsible for national distribution business
development for AT&T's wireless and wired products. Under his
leadership, AT&T added more than 30,000 points of distribution,
in both retail and digital.
Haight stated, "I am excited to join the Globalstar management
team and believe there is significant untapped potential in the
Company’s satellite-based IoT business. Success in this role will
entail a strategic focus on augmenting our customer base to include
large-scale customers. Globalstar's satellite network offers
significant available capacity and adds value to the IoT industry
by empowering connectivity solutions and expanding use cases that
are not realized today – capability that will soon include two-way
IoT devices. We plan to develop unique enterprise partnerships with
large-scale VARs, system integrators, carriers and others looking
to extend their business models with satellite connectivity
utilizing low power and small form factor devices, leveraging
mid-frequency spectrum across borders.”
