Toulouse, France, 7 May, 2025: Atheras Analytics SAS has appointed David Gibbons as CEO. As the company transitions from its start-up phase and moves into commercial delivery of its unique and highly innovative AI-based SaaS-delivered software tools, David will take charge of the go-to-market strategy and spearhead the commercial strategy of the business.
A veteran of the satellite and defence business, David was Global Space Sales Director at TERMA Group (formal Atos/Siemens) where he focused on forging new markets and business opportunities and was also Head of ESA Space Solutions Centre, Ireland and held senior positions at Magellan and Moog.
Atheras Analytics SAS is behind the development of a suite of award-winning AI-based, SaaS-delivered software tools that enable satellite operators to optimise the design and operation of their next-generation Ka-band and Q/V-band satellite networks for maximum network availability in both GEO and NGSO.
