||
OTTAWA, Ontario, September 11, 2006/Satnews Daily/ — Telesat Canada and its shareholder BCE Inc. announced on Monday that Daniel S. Goldberg has been named President and CEO of Canada's leading satellite services provider.
Goldberg, formerly president and CEO of SES New Skies, succeeds Larry Boisvert who has decided to retire after nearly 34 years of service, the last 13 years as president and CEO.
Goldberg, a graduate of the Harvard Law School, has been working in the communications sector for the past 15 years and in satellite operating companies since 1998, most recently at New Skies - an owner operator of a global satellite communications network that provides satellite capacity and other services for the transmission of video, data, internet and voice services to corporate and government entities around the world.
During his tenure at New Skies, Goldberg led a team that took a small start-up created through the partial privatization of an intergovernmental satellite system and built a pre-eminent global player in a highly competitive industry. He also helped launch two successful Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) and concluded two private sales between 2000 and 2006.
Boisvert will remain a senior advisor at Telesat, on loan to BCE for the upcoming months.
