Melbourne, FL. /20 August 2024 – Satcom Direct has selected Tom Phillips to serve as the regional director for its Asia Pacific operation. Joining the team in August, Phillips will be responsible for strengthening the SD presence in the region and executing SD’s ongoing strategic developments across the Asia Pacific area.
Phillips steps into his role with over a decade’s experience working for Satcom Global where he most recently led their Singapore operation. As regional director for SD, he will identify new markets, expand the customer portfolio, build new partnerships, introduce established and new SD products and services to the connectivity-hungry market, as well as ensuring the continuity of SD’s award-winning customer support.
Following the success of the SD Plane Simple® Ku-band antenna rollout and the recent commercial introduction of the SD Plane Simple Ka-band antenna, one of his prime objectives will be to promote the revolutionary hardware and the SD eco-system to the region’s tech-forward business aviation community. The Ku-band antenna is already flying in the region, and the Plane Simple Ka-band recently earned STC approval for Gulfstream airframes, with other OEMs soon to follow.
“I am thrilled to join Satcom Direct in this position and am eager to contribute to the company’s continued growth and success. Satcom Direct’s commitment to excellence and customer satisfaction resonates deeply with me. The position allows me to leverage my experience to enhance our service offerings further and strengthen relationships with our valued customers. The APAC region presents a dynamic and rapidly evolving market, and I am confident that, together with my talented team at SD, we will achieve new heights in delivering unparalleled connectivity solutions and support to our clients,” said Phillips.
Phillips will report to Dave Falberg, Vice President of SD International.
“We’re excited to welcome Tom to SD. Customers will appreciate his experience, expertise and energy. His track record of achievement will be a great asset to the team. I know that Tom will build on the success of the established APAC team and will continue to provide the focused, trusted and innovative approach that our customers expect,” said Falberg.
