Redmond, WA, Nov. 1, 2018 — Kymeta, the communications company making good on the promise of global mobile connectivity, has announced that Chief Executive Officer Dr. Nathan Kundtz will leave his current role with Kymeta next month and will continue in an advisory role to the company going forward.
Marc Stolzman, Kymeta’s President and Chief Financial Officer, will guide the company’s day-to-day operations in the interim while the Kymeta Board of Directors conducts a global search for the next Kymeta chief executive officer.

That is an amazing accomplishment. Kymeta is now in a true stage of commercial operations, and I share the belief of the full Kymeta Board that our company now needs the leadership experience of someone with a track record of driving significant commercial growth.”
