Myhill will serve as CesiumAstro’s senior leader in the nation’s capital, driving engagement with defense, intelligence, and policy stakeholders while growing the company’s presence in key national security markets.

Earlier in his career, Myhill served as professional staff on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HSPCI), where he played a key role in negotiations for the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004. He also worked at BearingPoint (KPMG), leading development and systems integration efforts for major government programs.
“Bob’s unique combination of technical, operational and policy expertise makes him an exceptional addition to our leadership team,” said Shey Sabripour, Founder and CEO of CesiumAstro. “With Bob leading our Washington, D.C. presence, we are significantly strengthening our ability to work side by side with defense, intelligence, and policy leaders as we advance next-generation communications capabilities for national security missions.”
