Mora joins Kymeta following a distinguished 40-year career at General Dynamics Mission Systems, where he led Space and Intelligence Systems and supported operational needs across the DOD, Intelligence Community, DHS, and international partners.
“As the defense community modernizes its command-and-control infrastructure, Kymeta is uniquely positioned to deliver mobile SATCOM solutions that perform in the most demanding environments,” said Nicole Piasecki, Executive Chair of the Board. “Manny Mora brings the operational depth and strategic clarity to scale our impact and strengthen our role as a trusted partner to national security customers.”
Kymeta’s product line is built on proprietary metamaterials-based antenna technology, enabling electronically steered, flat-panel terminals that deliver seamless, multi-orbit connectivity on the move. These systems are engineered for reliability, resilience, and rapid deployment key attributes for today’s mobile warfighter.

My focus is on accelerating innovation, expanding our deployment footprint and ensuring our solutions meet the evolving needs of our national security partners.”
Mora succeeds Rick Bergman, who is supporting this transition. Under Bergman’s leadership, Kymeta launched the Goshawk u8 terminal, strengthening its relationships with key partners, and achieved a major milestone in multi-band SATCOM with a single aperture.
