Kymeta adds four prominent leaders to the firm’s Board of Directors and Board of Advisors

April 30, 2025

Kymeta, a developer and provider of satellite and cellular communications technology, has added highly respected leaders in defense, space, and technology to both the firm’s Board of Directors and Board of Advisors.

These appointments come as the company sets sights on further cementing its relationship with the U.S. Department of Defense and as global security dynamics intensifies, driving heightened demand for advanced, sovereign communication systems, in our allied regions.

Kymeta’s new board members and advisors bring unparalleled expertise in defense, space, and emerging technologies, helping to advance the company’s mission to deliver cutting-edge solutions for robust and secure and resilient communications in dynamic and contested environments. The new additions bring extensive expertise from leadership roles in national security, space, and technology sectors:

These appointments reflect Kymeta’s commitment to collaborating with experts who can provide guidance on the evolving demands of modern defense, enterprise, and government sectors. With a focus on delivering secure, resilient communication technologies, Kymeta aims to support a wide range of customers, from military and government organizations to commercial enterprises, in achieving operational readiness and connectivity in increasingly complex environments.

Chris Marzilli, former Executive Vice President of General Dynamics, has led mission-critical communications programs and fostered advancements in secure defense technology. His leadership has been widely recognized in the defense industry.

Brig. Gen. (Ret.) Scott Stapp, currently CTO and CRO at DEFCON AI, brings a deep understanding of technology integration and partnership development. His career spans key roles in national security space programs and technology strategy for the Department of Defense.

Jay “Scott” Goldstein, a retired U.S. Air Force Major General and Senior Vice President at Parsons Corporation, has extensive experience in space, cyber, and R&D initiatives. During his career, he has contributed significantly to defense and intelligence innovation, earning numerous accolades and holding multiple U.S. patents.

Brian Hibbeln, a physicist and strategic advisor, has a three-decade career in the U.S. Defense Department and Intelligence Community. His insights into leveraging advanced technologies for operational needs make him a vital addition to the advisory team.

Today’s complex global environment requires innovative and reliable communication solutions that support defense, enterprise, and government operations across diverse regions,” said Rick Bergman, President and CEO of Kymeta. “Kymeta continues to support the U.S. Department of Defense while expanding its efforts globally, where the demand for sovereign and secure networks is growing. By bringing these distinguished leaders on board, we aim to enhance our ability to deliver robust connectivity and address the unique challenges faced by our customers worldwide.”
