He succeeds Ruy Pinto, who vacated his post at Inmarsat to “pursue new interests, ” the  satellite communications services provider said Monday.

Inmarsat CEO Rupert Pearce said Smith’s appointment builds on the company’s mission to give customers and partners access to high-speed connectivity on land, sea and air.
