Nick Lapato Appointed SVP of Program Management at Inmarsat Government

Nick Lapato, former director of network operations center at Inmarsat Government, has been named senior vice president of program management at the Reston, Virginia-based telecommunications services provider, according to a LinkedIn post published Wednesday.

He oversaw the company’s network operations center for more than a year after serving as a senior systems engineer from January 2021 to May 2022.

Lapato joined Inmarsat Government after a seven-year career as a program manager at Northrop Grumman (NYSE: NOC).

He previously spent 18 years at Hughes Space and Communications, now part of Boeing (NYSE: BA), as manager of the integration and test group.

Inmarsat Government holds a spot under a potential $900 million indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract to provide satellite-based communications services and capabilities to the U.S. Space Force.

In mid-2023, Viasat (Nasdaq: VSAT) completed its acquisition of Inmarsat, a U.K.-based satellite communication services provider, in an effort to bring additional satcom offerings to the government and other sectors.
