SatixFy Communications<\/b> named David Ripstein, formerly of GreenRoad Technologies<\/b> and Radcom<\/b> to lead the company as CEO. Ripstein succeeds industry veteran Yoel Gat, former CEO and co-chairman, who died in April. <\/p>\n
Ripstein has served as CEO of telematics company GreenRoad Technologies since 2017, where he directed the development of digital telematics products and a global sales approach. He was previously president and CEO of network intelligence solutions company Radcom, from 2007 to 2016. Radcom provides solutions for telecom operators transitioning to 5G, and Ripstein spearheaded the company\u2019s product redirection and global sales strategies. <\/p>\n
This appointment comes as Satixfy is going through a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) merger to become publicly traded. Co-founder Yoav Leibovitch, who has been serving as interim CEO, highlighted Ripstein\u2019s understanding of the communications vertical and experience running a publicly-traded company. Leibovitch will remain the company\u2019s chairman and CFO.<\/p>\n
Ripstein said that SatixFy will use the SPAC cash injection to launch an \u201caggressive sales strategy.\u201d <\/p>\n
\u201cI am excited by the growth potential represented by SatixFy\u2019s step-ahead satellite communications technology, which exactly matches the needs of a broad variety of satcom players,\u201d Ripstein said. \u201cWith strong demand for wide, reliable bandwidth and global access, the world needs better performance out of satellite communications \u2013 including higher speeds, more advanced payloads and wider coverage \u2013 and this requires SatixFy\u2019s unique technologies. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
