About Andrew Basham

I am a driven and effective problem-solver in the field of satellite telecommunications who enjoys overcoming obstacles to bring projects from conception to full operation. I believe the keys to success are combining a strategic, enterprise-wide approach to problem solving with an eye for impacts at the individual stakeholder level and fostering communication by promoting an environment of support and accountability. I enjoy finding innovative solutions to complex issues and being at the forefront in pushing for productive change.My primary professional interests are unlocking the potential of space to foster global communications and ensuring communications technology provides free and easy access to markets and information worldwide. My academic and research interests include U.S. spectrum policy, privatization and commercialization in the space industry, and the role of communications technology in diplomacy.
