Jon Osler will replace Flavien Bachabi effective January 2011, according to the fixed satellite service provider.
Osler has been appointed managing director of Intelsat's Africa sales team. He currently serves as a global account director at the company, working on strategic global accounts.
Prior to joining Intelsat, Osler served as the leader of Middle East and Africa sales for ViaSat, a satellite networking services company. He has over 20 years of sales experience in communications and technology companies, says Intelsat.
“Jon has proven skill in developing strategic customer solutions that support rapid growth, an ideal match for the changing business environment in Africa, which includes pan-regional growth and consolidation among service providers,” says Intelsat's senior VP of global sales Kurt Riegelman.
