Kleos Space S.A. confirmed the transition of the Chief Executive Officer role from Andy Bowyer to Alan Khalili is complete, effective 1 January 2023. Mr. Khalili is a U.S. citizen with more than two decades of senior management experience across Data-as-a-Service, aerospace, satellite, wireless voice, and Internet of Things (IoT) industries. He brings first-hand experience in commercialising space-based tech, gained at global aircraft tracking company Aireon LLC, which uses a hosted payload on a third-party satellite to collect data.

Kleos' executive change to a U.S. citizen will help with the execution of the significant market opportunity for provision of intelligence products in the USA ­ the defence intelligence market. Increased engagement with the U.S. intelligence community should also support the acquisition of high-value government contracts in other markets.
