SES Announces Senior Leadership Team Changes Long-time SES employee
The company also announced that Thai Rubin, SES’s
Executive Vice President of Legal Services, will become the Chief Legal Officer
as of 1 July 2020, succeeding John Purvis who has decided to step back from his
current role for personal reasons, after having led SES’s legal team for 13
years. Mr Purvis will remain an important member of SES’s legal team on a
part-time basis, reporting to Mr Rubin.
Mr Rubin has been part of the SES Group since 2006. He
joined SES upon acquisition of New Skies Satellites and went on to serve in
management roles in both SES New Skies and SES World Skies. In 2011, Mr Rubin
joined O3b Networks as General Counsel and served as a key member of the
leadership team through the successful launch, commercialisation and ultimate
acquisition of O3b by SES.
“Ferdinand and John have been vital to the success of SES
during the last two decades, and I cannot speak highly enough of the incredible
contributions that they have made over this period. For the past 20 years,
Ferdinand has been the driving force behind the development of the world’s most
successful global direct-to-home (DTH) business, enabling everyone at SES to
proudly say we broadcast over 8,300 channels to serve over 367 TV households
and 1 billion people. If anyone has earned the right to a long and happy
retirement it is Ferdinand. I am both grateful and delighted that we will
retain the knowledge, guidance and influence of both Ferdinand and John as
integral parts of SES, John as a critical member of the legal team and
Ferdinand in continuing to lead the Astra and GovSat boards” said Collar.
“Meanwhile, I am excited to welcome Thai to the SES Senior Leadership Team. I
have worked with Thai for more than 20 years and he is one of the most
brilliant and committed executives I have come across. We are fortunate to have
such a great talent pool at SES and look forward to working with Thai as we
build an exciting future for SES.”
