Industry Veteran Jeff Kerridge Joins Satellogic
Will Lead Global Sales and Drive Next Phase of Growth
Jeff Kerridge has been appointed SVP of Global Sales at Satellogic. With more than 35 years of experience across the geospatial, defense and intelligence (D&I) sectors, Kerridge will lead the company’s worldwide sales strategy and customer growth initiatives as the company enters a new phase of global expansion.
“Jeff is a proven leader and one of the most respected figures in the global D&I and civil government markets.”

Throughout his distinguished career, Kerridge has built and led high-performing sales organizations and secured landmark contracts that have shaped the modern commercial geospatial industry. He played a pivotal role in the evolution of EarthWatch into Maxar Intelligence (now Vantor), where he served as Senior Vice President and General Manager of International Sales, leading a team that generated more than $1 billion in revenue over seven years. Under his leadership, Maxar secured key strategic partnerships with U.S. allies and international governments.
“Jeff is a proven leader and one of the most respected figures in the global D&I and civil government markets,” said Emiliano Kargieman, CEO of Satellogic. “His appointment comes at a pivotal time for our company. Following the announcement of our anchor customer led $30MM AI-First constellation, the closing of $90 million in new capital, the announcement of our next-generation constellation, the completion of our re-domiciliation to the U.S., and the addition of major partners including NASA, Uzma, Suhora, and Vantor — Jeff’s leadership will be instrumental in turning our momentum into sustained growth and market dominance. We’re thrilled to have him on board.”
Kerridge’s extensive background also includes senior roles with BlackSky and Aireon LLC, as well as over a decade tenure with the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). His deep understanding of the global D&I landscape uniquely positions him to advance Satellogic’s mission of democratizing access to high-quality, real-time Earth imagery.
“I am honored to join Satellogic at such a pivotal moment in its history,” said Jeff Kerridge. “The company’s recent string of successes is undeniable. The combination of a successful re-domiciliation, a fortified balance sheet, and new strategic deals provides a clear runway for aggressive growth. I believe Satellogic’s vertically integrated model and industry-leading value proposition are precisely what government and commercial customers are looking for. I look forward to building on this incredible foundation to deliver Satellogic’s capabilities to new and existing markets worldwide.”
