Diego Paldao and NewSat

Diego Paldao, NewSat Senior Director-Americas, had his first time working for the satellite industry, 14 years ago, when UUNet provides IP transit services where his team worked closely with satellite operators to provide connectivity via satellite for places that lacks in adequate or stable fibre connectivity.

Paldao also joined global teleport operator Verestar following his work with UUNet. Verestar then was ultimately acquired by SES where he also had various positions, supporting enterprise and government clients based in North America.

At last, Palda joined NewSat, an Australian satellite specialist, in January, contributing to the vision and the realization of the vision to launch the continent’s first commercial satellite fleet.

NewSat is to date the largest independent satellite communications provider in Australia. Its satellites, VSATs and teleports provide coverage to 75% of the Earth’s surface. Its CEO Adrian Ballintine and Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen founded the company in 1987 where it started as a multimedia business which survived the dotcom crash to evolve into a fully-fledged satellite communications company. Most of their customers are located in Australia, the Middle east and Africa.
