DigitalGlobe (NYSE: DGI), a leading global content provider of
high-resolution earth imagery solutions, today announced the
appointment of Jeffrey Goebel as Vice President of Geospatial Value
Added Products and Services and Jack Hild as Vice President of U.S.
Defense Strategy. Both Goebel and Hild have held prestigious
careers with the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) and
bring a strong degree of knowledge and skill to DigitalGlobe.
"Jeff and Jack both have proven track records of success and
leadership within the NGA," said Jill Smith, CEO of DigitalGlobe.
"They bring an extraordinary level of expertise which serves to
strengthen our commitment to growing our business with the US
government while also bringing exceptional solutions to the
commercial marketplace."
"DigitalGlobe provides me the unparalleled opportunity to make a
difference building timely and relevant GEOINT. They have a solid
vision for the future, the best constellation in the industry and
high energy people that deliver," said Jeff Goebel, Vice President
of Geospatial Value Added Products and Services.
Most recently, Goebel was the Director of the NGA Office of
Commercial Partnerships where his office's contractual efforts
provided over 75% of the GEOINT information to meet the NGA's
geospatial data needs and ensure the safety of navigation missions.
He was also responsible for providing critical analytic skills to
address current and enduring intelligence issues. In addition,
Goebel's office served as the Agency Program Manager for the
billion-dollar Global Geospatial Intelligence contract.
"I wanted to join a geospatial company that was committed to
protecting freedom around the world and was poised to grow and
create new applications - and I found that in DigitalGlobe," said
Jack Hild, Vice President of U.S. Defense Strategy. "I was
impressed with the executive team's commitment to growth and am
looking forward to joining DigitalGlobe's already enthusiastic and
innovative workforce."
Prior to joining DigitalGlobe, Hild served as the Assistant
Chief Information Officer at NGA, where he focused on geospatial
intelligence data and sources. In his previous position at NGA,
Hild was the Deputy Director of the Source Operations Key Component
where he provided executive oversight of satellite and airborne
imagery operations, commercial partnerships, international
cooperative programs and geospatial data and mapping programs.
