KVH Industries, Inc., (Nasdaq: KVHI), a
leader in global mobile connectivity and inertial navigation
solutions, today announced that Brent Bruun has expanded his
responsibilities as chief operating officer, and Mark Woodhead has
been named executive vice president of mobile connectivity. The
promotions leverage the business and maritime industry experience
of the two leaders. In his role as chief operating officer, Mr.
Bruun will now spearhead corporate business development; oversee
all operational and financial aspects of KVH’s mobile connectivity
and inertial navigation businesses; lead financial planning and
analysis; foster investor relations; and work toward organizational
excellence across the global company. Mr. Bruun joined KVH in early
2008 and served as executive vice president of the mobile broadband
group, the company’s largest business unit. Prior to joining KVH,
Mr. Bruun was senior vice president with satellite operator SES
Americom, and gained his strong corporate financial background from
positions held with GE Capital and KPMG earlier in his career. “I
look forward to accelerating growth for KVH as we continue to
strengthen our leadership market share with our mobile connectivity
products and services, particularly in maritime VSAT, and increase
the demand for our inertial solutions in the fast growing
autonomous markets,” says Mr. Bruun, who is based in KVH’s global
headquarters in Middletown, Rhode Island. In Mr. Woodhead’s new
role as executive vice president of mobile connectivity, he takes
on leadership for EMEA, Asia, and Americas commercial sales; global
leisure sales; KVH VideotelTM and KVH Media Group; global sales
operations; and product line management. Mr. Woodhead previously
served as KVH’s senior vice president, EMEA, overseeing mobile
connectivity sales activities in the region and also overseeing KVH
Videotel on a global basis. Mr. Woodhead has a strong background in
sales and the commercial maritime industry, having focused on these
areas for more than 20 years; he is based in KVH’s Leeds, U.K.,
office. In making both announcements, KVH’s chief executive
officer, Martin Kits van Heyningen, said: “We are fortunate to have
such a strong internal team here at KVH. We are entering 2019 with
terrific momentum and I have every confidence that these changes
will further our success.”
