Decorated Defense and Aerospace Leader Joins Board as Independent Director
NEW YORK, June 04, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Satellogic, Inc. (NASDAQ: SATL), the infrastructure company for Persistent Global Intelligence, today announced the appointment of retired U.S. Army Lieutenant General Michael E. Williamson as an independent director. General Williamson will serve as a Class III director, effective immediately.
General Williamson brings more than three decades of leadership experience in defense acquisition, technology integration, and global business development to Satellogic's Board. His deep expertise across the defense and aerospace sectors will support the Company as it continues to scale its Earth observation constellation and expand its work with government and commercial customers worldwide.
"General Williamson joins our board at a pivotal moment. The market is shifting from episodic imagery to Persistent Global Intelligence, and Satellogic is building the infrastructure that makes that shift real at scale,” said Emiliano Kargieman, CEO and Co-Founder of Satellogic. “His decades of leadership at the intersection of national security, advanced technology, and global partnerships will help us deepen our work with the allied governments and mission organizations that depend on continuous, decision-grade awareness."
"The organizations I've worked alongside for 40 years need continuous, decision-grade awareness of what is changing on the ground, not images delivered after the fact,” said General Williamson. “Satellogic is building the infrastructure to make that possible at the cadence and scale the mission now requires, and I'm glad to help guide that work as a member of the board."
A retired U.S. Army Lieutenant General and former senior executive at Lockheed Martin, General Williamson has more than thirty years of leadership experience in defense acquisition, technology integration, and global business development. Commissioned in the Air Defense Artillery in 1983, he held a series of command and acquisition roles, including Principal Military Deputy to the Assistant Secretary of the Army for Acquisition, Logistics and Technology and Director of Acquisition Career Management, where he oversaw major modernization and procurement programs for the U.S. Army.
Following his military career, General Williamson joined Lockheed Martin, serving as Vice President for Program Performance, Vice President and General Manager for Sensors and Global Sustainment, and Vice President of Tactical and Strike Missiles, with responsibility for advanced systems such as hypersonic and precision strike capabilities. Most recently, he served as Senior Vice President, Global Business Development and Strategy and President of Lockheed Martin International, leading enterprise-wide growth, international operations in more than 50 countries, and key customer and government partnerships worldwide.
General Williamson holds a B.S. in Business Administration from Husson College, an M.S. in Material Acquisition Management from the Naval Postgraduate School, and a Ph.D. in Business Administration from Madison University, as well as executive and public policy credentials from Harvard University and Georgetown University.
