Casey Cowell, executive chairman of ATLAS Space Operations, was named interim CEO of the software company that provides satellite ground communications and antenna network services for commercial and government agencies.
ATLAS said Thursday Cowell will succeed John Williams, who is stepping down as president and CEO and is transitioning to an executive adviser role at the company.
Commenting on the move, Cowell highlighted Williams’ vision and dedication and shared plans to build upon the latter’s set foundation.
“The company is on a remarkable growth trajectory, with several new contract wins from both commercial and government customers,” added Cowell. “We are well-positioned to achieve significant revenue growth in 2025 and beyond.”
Cowell, a distinguished entrepreneur and business leader, brings to the interim CEO post decades-long experience in driving technological innovation and growth. He co-founded U.S. Robotics in 1976 and helped transform the start-up into a large manufacturer of modems and related products connecting computers to the global telephone network.
