Kevin Steen to Depart EACOWT
Eutelsat America Corp. and OneWeb Technologies Inc (EACOWT) today announced that President and Chief Executive Officer, Kevin Steen, will be stepping down from his role, effective December 20, 2024.

“It has been a privilege to lead EACOWT as these two teams come together as one,” said Kevin. “I am proud of what we have accomplished together and am confident the company is well-positioned for continued success going forward.”
Dr. Pamela Drew, Chair of EACOWT’s Board of Directors, expressed her gratitude for Kevin’s leadership: “We thank Kevin for his significant contributions to the company and wish him the very best in his future endeavors. His vision and leadership have laid a strong foundation for the company’s continued success in delivering innovative and reliable satellite communications solutions to our customers.”
The Board of Directors has appointed Ian Canning, the company’s Chief Operating Officer, as acting Chief Executive Officer.
“I am grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Kevin and thank him for his leadership in bringing our two proxies together,” said Ian Canning, acting CEO. “I am looking forward to leading our talented team to deliver innovative and secure SATCOM solutions to our customers.”
