I would like to thank Sandeep for his steadfast leadership over the last five years where he has driven continuous execution improvement and transformation while strengthening the company's balance sheet with a competitive cost of capital and delivering healthy cash returns to shareholders, said Adel Al-Saleh, CEO of SES. We are pleased to welcome Lisa as our new CFO. Lisa has extensive experience in the aerospace and defence ecosystem and has completed several successful M&A finance integrations.
