Pradman Kaul, president of Hughes Network Systems, an EchoStar firm, has made the decision to retire at the end of this year, according to a recent announcement from EchoStar Corporation (Nasdaq: SATS). Paul Gaske will follow Mr. Kaul as chief operating officer on January 1, 2023, reporting to Hamid Akhavan, the chief executive officer of EchoStar.
Mr. Kaul declared: “The satellite industry is unique in that it combines space exploration and rocketry with practical approaches to a critical connectivity issue. And no team is more dedicated to excellence, innovation, and improving people’s lives as the Hughes team. For an engineer, being able to participate in both is about as wonderful as it gets. I’m confident that the business will keep breaking new ground in linking individuals, businesses, and things under Paul and Hamid’s leadership.”
Mr. Akhavan praised Pradman as “a visionary, an inspiring leader, and an amazing curator of engineering quality.” He leaves a legacy of creativity and teamwork that makes us stand out as an employer, a provider of services, and a partner to clients throughout the world.
