Kepler Appoints Caitlin Marsh as President for U.S. Expansion

STERLING, Va., Oct. 05, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- Kepler Communications US today announced the appointment of Caitlin Marsh as President of Kepler Communications U.S. Marsh will lead the company’s U.S. expansion, which builds on Kepler’s proven optical data relay infrastructure, on-orbit compute, and hosted payload capabilities for government and commercial customers with increasingly time-sensitive mission requirements.

Marsh, who brings 15 years of experience building and scaling advanced technology businesses and programs across aerospace, national security, and commercial markets, will now oversee Kepler’s efforts to bring these capabilities to more U.S. customers. Most recently, as Senior Director of Global Operations at Auterion, she directed execution of corporate strategy across product, programs, and customer success for U.S. and European teams. Marsh established and scaled a U.S.-based production line, delivering a $47 million international security initiative from award to delivery in just six months.

Previously, Marsh held leadership roles at SpiderOak and Ball Aerospace, spanning product development, enterprise strategy, and advanced systems program development. At In-Q-Tel, she managed a portfolio of 12 technology companies and worked with U.S. intelligence and defense customers to bring commercial innovations into operational use. That experience will support Kepler’s efforts to deepen U.S. customer relationships, strengthen industry partnerships, and deliver capabilities aligned with mission needs.

The next phase of constellation expansion, planned for 2028, will introduce optical data rates of up to 100 Gbps and additional hosted payload capacity, strengthening Kepler’s position as a long-term infrastructure partner for Government missions and helping the U.S. to field advanced space capabilities faster and sustain technological advantage.
