River Advisers Appoints Alexis Martin as CEO

Isle of Man, UK, February 27. 2025--River Advisers has appointed Alexis Martin as CEO, effective February 1, 2025.  Formerly the Chief Consulting Officer of River Advisers, Martin brings over twenty years’ experience in supporting regulatory, policy, and spectrum matters across the satellite industry to the role. As part of this transition, former CEO Katherine Gizinski will continue to serve on the River Group Board.

"It is an honour to step into the role of CEO at such a dynamic and forward-thinking organisation," said River Advisers Chief Executive Officer Alexis Martin. "I am committed to building on Katherine’s exceptional work, deepening our impact, and leading River Advisers into its next chapter. Together with our talented team, I look forward to delivering exceptional value, advancing our clients’ success, and driving meaningful change within our industry and an increasingly connected world.”

Across the satellite and space sectors, technological advances often outpace the regulations. In recent years, there have been a number of ground-breaking developments in the fields of Direct-to-Device, IoT, High Altitude Platform Stations (HAPS), multi-orbit orchestration, and commercial lunar missions, yet we remain at the starting point of regulatory transformation. This can prove a challenge to those looking to navigate an increasingly complex regulatory landscape.

Under Martin’s leadership, River Advisers will continue to provide wrap-around support for businesses looking to operate within the sector. Its consultancy services help clients save time and navigate the complexity of filings and national licensing and approvals, offering increased speed to global markets, practical insights for informed operational decision-making, and opening new doors to maximise market potential according to a company statement.
