"Atlas saw significant growth recently both in capability and sales, and as a company,” said Sean McDaniel, CEO and founder of Atlas. "2018 was a remarkable year for us. With the introduction of Atlas' revolutionary technology solutions and continued expansion of our global antenna network, it’s the perfect time to bring in Norm to amplify awareness and position our brand as a growing leader in the ground-to-satellite communication industry.”

"As Atlas continues this path of quantum growth, executing a strategic and comprehensive marketing and communication plan that supports the company's business plan is paramount," added Lee.

Mike Carey, CSO and founder, said Atlas is experiencing great success across the industry, especially with the US government.
