During his time at DigitalGlobe, Hascall had P&L responsibility for the company's Imagery Business Unit and led the Commercial, International Defense and Intelligence and U.S. Government customer teams. He was also responsible for the operations of DigitalGlobe's industry-leading satellite constellation and global infrastructure network and played an integral role in the company's adoption of cloud storage and cloud computing technologies.

"Tim has been an invaluable asset to the Maxar and DigitalGlobe leadership teams for the past seven years, providing steady guidance for numerous aspects of our technology and business operations transformation," said Howard Lance, Maxar CEO.
