| Three Senior Hires with Deep Industry Experience Join Satellogic as Demand for Persistent, Sovereign Geospatial Intelligence Accelerates |
NEW YORK, May 04, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Satellogic, Inc. (NASDAQ: SATL), a vertically integrated geospatial company delivering high-resolution Earth Observation (EO) at unprecedented scale and economics, today announced the addition of three senior industry veterans to its global sales organization: Matt Clark, Brett Davis, and Jonathan Lee.
The hires come as defense and intelligence customers worldwide accelerate their pursuit of persistent, sovereign monitoring capabilities. Governments are increasingly seeking partners that can deliver continuous, global coverage at scale. Satellogic has invested ahead of this shift, building the constellation, operational capacity, and go-to-market infrastructure to meet that demand.
“The global defense and intelligence landscape is shifting decisively toward persistent, sovereign Earth observation as a core strategic capability,” said Emiliano Kargieman, CEO and Founder of Satellogic. “We are building a world-class team to match the scale of that opportunity. Each of these hires strengthens our ability to engage at the highest levels of the defense and intelligence community and convert growing interest into durable, programmatic partnerships.”
Matt Clark joins Satellogic with more than 15 years of experience supporting international government customers. In his previous role at Vantor (formerly Maxar), Matt led sales and business development across international defense and intelligence accounts, driving strategic programs with allied governments.
Brett Davis brings over 22 years of experience in the geospatial intelligence sector. Prior to joining Satellogic, Brett spent more than two decades at Vantor (formerly Maxar Intelligence) in senior sales roles and most recently served as Director of International Business Development at BlackSky, where he focused on expanding adoption of high-frequency satellite data across defense customers.
Jonathan Lee joins as Sales Director for APAC. He combines nearly a decade of commercial GEOINT experience at Vantor (formerly Maxar Intelligence), with 11 years as an analyst at the Singapore Ministry of Defense, bringing firsthand understanding of operational intelligence workflows and regional mission requirements.
“These are proven operators who know how to win and execute on mission-critical programs,” said Jeff Kerridge, SVP of Global Sales at Satellogic. “The demand environment is accelerating and we are scaling ahead of it. Matt, Brett, and Jonathan bring decades of trusted relationships and deep domain expertise across the markets where demand is accelerating fastest.”
Scaling to Meet a Generational Shift in Demand
The market for persistent, global intelligence is undergoing a generational shift. Governments are moving from ad hoc tasking to continuous, programmatic monitoring and they require partners with the constellation scale, operational infrastructure, and vertically integrated economics to deliver it. Satellogic’s model is purpose-built for this environment, enabling continuous global visibility at the cost structure required for large-scale defense and intelligence missions.
With decades of combined experience across the defense and intelligence ecosystem, the expanded sales team positions Satellogic to convert increasing demand into durable, programmatic revenue with government customers globally.
