Bob Roe to Retire as OneWeb Technologies’ Chief Executive Officer

July 20, 2022

OneWeb Technologies has announced today that its long-time Chief Executive Officer, Bob Roe, plans to retire.

Mr. Roe joined OneWeb Technologies as Chief Executive Officer in March 2012, then TrustComm, Inc. His leadership and deep understanding of the market helped grow TrustComm, Inc. into a trusted satellite communications solutions provider to the U.S. government and commercial enterprise customers. Under Roe’s guidance, the company has grown operationally and financially, culminating with its acquisition by global Low Earth Orbit (LEO) SATCOM provider, OneWeb. Since the acquisition, Roe and his management team have successfully positioned the company as an innovator that is now better equipped to serve its customers through access to OneWeb’s services and network.

"I am honored to have led this great company and work with such a talented team of people committed to serving our customers,” said Roe. “I am proud of the work we have accomplished in delivering innovative solutions to our customers and am excited for the next phase of the company’s growth as part of OneWeb. I’m optimistic about OneWeb Technologies’ future and look forward to watching the company continue to flourish.”

“I want to thank Bob for his strategic leadership and guidance these past several months,” said   OneWeb Technologies’ Chairwoman, Sue Gordon, who joined the Board of Directors in March 2022. “Bob Roe’s leadership and vision have been essential to fulfilling OneWeb Technologies’ promise to deliver the power of OneWeb’s LEO services to our U.S. Government customers. With the current team and the identified new hires, I confident this company is poised for even more success in the future.”

Mr. Roe’s transition is being coordinated closely with the Board of the Directors and is expected to be finalized this summer.
