ABOUT JOHN-PAUL HEMINGWAY
A dynamic, results-driven executive with extensive experience in transformation and leadership across diverse business domains, most recently at SES—a prominent satellite technology and communications company. In my latest capacity as Chief Commercial Officer (CCO), I held full P&L responsibility for growth across all commercial market sectors, including Media, Mobility, and Telecommunications, managing operations exceeding $1 billion in scale. My tenure also included roles as CEO of SES Networks and Chief Strategy and Product Officer (CSPO), where I spearheaded strategic initiatives and growth in commercial and government markets, while shaping and executing comprehensive business strategies. My association with SES began following the acquisition of O3b Networks, a dynamic start-up whom first disrupted the NGSO satellite industry, where I served as Chief Marketing Officer.In these roles, I collaborated with some of the world\'s foremost telecommunications, maritime, aeronautical, and energy organisations, as well as various governmental agencies globally. A key responsibility involved transforming the business model from a wholesale capacity provider to a global managed data service and solutions integrator, facilitating the adoption of satellite-enabled, cloud-integrated solutions. Prior to joining SES, my career encompassed senior positions such as VP Portfolio Management, Regional General Manager, and Regional CTO at Ciena—a leading Telco industry technology supplier—as well as Product Manager at a software start-up and Research Engineer at Corning. I hold a PhD in Optical Communications and a BSc (Hons) from Manchester Metropolitan University. Looking to the future, I bring a clear strategic vision, global operational expertise, and a proven ability to inspire teams, drive innovation, and deliver shareholder value. I am committed to cultivating high-performing cultures and navigating organizations toward sustainable, market-leading growth. I am committed to ongoing professional development and believe that effective leadership is rooted in continuous learning from colleagues and peers.
