REDMOND, Wash., Nov. 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Kymeta, the global leader in mobile satellite communications powered by metamaterials technology, today announced the appointment of Manny Mora as President and Chief Executive Officer, effective immediately. This leadership transition marks a strategic acceleration of Kymeta’s mission to deliver reliable, resilient connectivity for warfighters and mission-critical operators across the U.S. Department of Defense and allied governments.
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.
