About Satish Sharma

Satish Sharma is CTO/COO, Telecom Business at AST SpaceMobile. Location: Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, United States.

I currently serve as CTO/COO, Telecom Business at AST SpaceMobile, helping advance the next generation of space-based cellular broadband connectivity. My focus is at the intersection of technology and execution, translating innovation into scalable, carrier-grade services across networks, platforms, service delivery, assurance, and operations. My career spans executive leadership roles across AST SpaceMobile, EchoStar/Boost Mobile, MediaKind, Ericsson, Sprint, and Comsearch, with experience across 5G, Open RAN, cloud-native networks, network deployment and operations, service delivery and assurance, AI-enabled automation, and large-scale transformation. I believe the next chapter of telecommunications will be shaped by the convergence of terrestrial and space-based networks, creating a more ubiquitous and resilient connectivity fabric. AI and intelligent automation will further transform how these increasingly complex networks are engineered, operated, and optimized. Throughout my career, I have remained passionate about building high-performing organizations, developing emerging leaders, and turning ambitious ideas into operational reality. .
