      SES is streamlining customer support and services by forming a global services delivery team under the leadership of a Chief Services Officer (CSO).

      The newly created CSO position consolidates all customer support and operational delivery, logistics and services related resources across the video and data businesses. It unifies functions across the organization into a single team. John Baughn, formerly Executive Vice President (EVP) of global services at SES Networks, is appointed to this newly created position.

      Furthermore, the company revealed that Ruy Pinto is the successor to Martin Halliwell as Chief Technology Officer (CTO). Ruy Pinto, formerly deputy Chief Technology Officer (CTO) and Chief Information Officer (CIO) of SES will lead SES’s global technology organization including all technology functions currently within the business units and will also retain the leadership of SES’s IT and Digital Transformation activities. Martin Halliwell will remain part of the senior leadership team and serve as a strategic advisor to the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) until his planned retirement in May 2019.
