MENLO PARK, CA, 3 December 2024 — LeoLabs, the world’s leading mission partner for persistent Orbital Intelligence, announced today that the Honorable Ronald S. Moultrie, former Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence & Security (USD/I&S), has joined the company’s Board of Directors as Outside Director.
In this role, Moultrie will provide independent corporate oversight of LeoLabs for the purposes of maintaining the highest level of trust and confidence of the U.S. Government. This appointment affirms LeoLabs commitment to U.S national security as a trusted partner for U.S. and Allied defense and intelligence space missions.
Throughout his decades long career, Moultrie has held leadership positions across the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) and Intelligence Community (IC), including the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence and Security, the Director of Defense Intelligence in the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (DNI), NSA Director of Operations, a Senior Intelligence Service officer and leader in the CIA, and an Air Force veteran.
His most recent service as the USD/I&S from 2021 to 2024, during which he directed and was accountable for the DoD’s global intelligence and security enterprise, will inform LeoLabs’ efforts to increase support of the U.S. Government’s growing Space Domain Awareness (SDA) needs as it responds to threats in space.
In addition, Moultrie’s experience supporting U.S. and Allied collaboration, information sharing, future space architecture planning, and support of public-private space partnerships will prove critical as LeoLabs continues to expand delivery of its services to Allied space commands. The company is currently supporting several commands across North America, Europe, and Asia and the U.S. Department of Defense’s SDA efforts. It is also developing next-generation radar technology that will significantly enhance its global customers’ SDA capabilities.
“We’re honored to welcome Ron as the newest member of the LeoLabs Board of Directors,” said LeoLabs CEO Tony Frazier. “Ron’s breadth of experience across U.S. defense and intelligence agencies will prove instrumental as LeoLabs continues to rapidly deliver solutions and technologies critical to the safety and security of U.S. and global space assets.”
“LeoLabs has already established itself as a trusted leader in the Space Domain Awareness field and is well positioned to support a wide array of U.S. defense, Allied, and commercial requirements,” said Moultrie. “I’m honored to join the company’s Board.”
