Skyloom solidifies its market position and
sets the stage for its next growth phase by appointing Orbcomm’s
former CEO, who brings a unique blend of entrepreneurial spirit and
seasoned executive experience to the team.
Skyloom Global Corp., America’s leading innovator in Space-based
optical communications technology and services, is thrilled to
announce that Marc Eisenberg has been appointed Chief Executive
Officer, effective September 9, 2024. He will join founder Marcos
Franceschini who will maintain his role of President, reflecting
the company's commitment to evolving and advancing within the Space
industry.
“Over the past seven years we have taken Skyloom from a startup
to a technology leader in Space-based Optical Communications and
one of a handful group of companies that have mastered
industrialization of Optical Communications Terminals,” said Marcos
Franceschini. “I can’t express how excited I am for the next phase
of the company with products and services now commercialized and
just beginning to enter the market. Marc’s addition is essential in
taking us forward, scaling the business and cementing ourselves as
a leader in the industry.”
Marc Eisenberg, a highly accomplished executive with extensive
experience in the Space technology sector, joins Skyloom following
a successful tenure as Chairman and CEO of Orbcomm Inc., a
prominent global provider of Internet of Things (IoT) solutions. He
led Orbcomm through its early stages, through an IPO and ultimately
into a successful take-private transaction, valuing the company at
over $1 billion. Under his leadership, ORBCOMM’s team grew from 80
to 800 people worldwide, and annual sales grew from start up to
over $300 million.
Eisenberg’s leadership and strategic expertise in making
Space-based telecommunication companies successful will be pivotal
as Skyloom advances its position as a leader in optical
communication services and continues to drive innovation in the
Space industry.
“I am impressed by Skyloom’s remarkable achievements, advanced
technology, and position in an incredibly fast-growing market,”
said Eisenberg. “I am honored by the Board’s trust and endorsement,
and I look forward to working closely with founders Marcos
Franceschini and Santiago Tempone, as well as the entire Skyloom
team to build on their successes and continuing a trajectory of
growth and innovation.”
