Stier will lead the global sales activities for the company, with overall responsibility for customer interaction and satisfaction. ILS, which has provided launch services for more than 22 years, markets Proton Breeze M, Proton Medium and Angara 1.2 launch services to satellite operators worldwide.

“I’ve been fortunate to work alongside Peter for many years in the launch business,” said Kirk Pysher, president of ILS. “He is a proven leader with a solid record of accomplishment in establishing and building partnerships across the industry. Peter is a highly trusted and valued member of our team; I’m certain he will serve ILS and our customers very well.”

Stier joined ILS in 2016 as senior director of sales, leading the sales and business development activities of Proton and Angara launch services for customers in the Americas region. A veteran of the space industry for more than 20 years, he has significant expertise in co-ordinating and executing business development strategies for commercial launch and telecommunications services and technology businesses.
