Finney to Remain Involved as Board Director as McCarter Takes the Helm to Drive Growth and Innovation
All.Space, a leading innovator in satellite terminal technology, has announced a significant leadership transition as founder John Finney steps down from his role as CEO. The company confirmed on Wednesday that Paul McCarter will immediately assume the position of CEO, succeeding Finney after a carefully planned transition.
John Finney, who founded All.Space (originally known as Isotropic Systems) in 2013, built the company with the vision of developing multi-orbit antennas designed to complement the emerging multi-orbit satellite constellations. Under Finney’s leadership, the company rebranded as All.Space in 2022, reflecting its focus on revolutionizing satellite communications. At the core of All.Space’s offerings is its cutting-edge multi-orbit, multi-beam satellite terminal, which allows users to connect with multiple satellites across different orbits simultaneously, maintaining high-performance connections. The technology has been successfully validated through testing with the U.S. military, demonstrating its robustness and capability.
In a reflective LinkedIn post, Finney shared insights into his decision to step down as CEO, emphasizing that leadership is not just about guiding a company through its early stages but also about recognizing when a shift in leadership is necessary to propel the business forward. Finney explained that building All.Space required passion, resilience, and dedication, but true leadership means understanding when fresh perspectives and skills are needed to navigate the company’s next chapter of growth. While stepping aside as CEO, Finney will continue to play an active role in the company as a founder and board director, supporting All.Space’s future endeavors.
Paul McCarter, who joined All.Space as Chief Operations Officer in January, now takes the helm as CEO. His transition to the leadership role has been carefully coordinated over the past six months, ensuring a seamless shift for the company’s customers and stakeholders as All.Space prepares for an expanded operational push.
McCarter brings a wealth of experience to his new role, having served in high-level positions at companies such as Racal, Thales, Cobham, and Serco, as well as in the British Army. With a career that spans leadership in both the public and private sectors, McCarter is well-positioned to lead All.Space into its next phase of growth and innovation.
Expressing his enthusiasm for the future, McCarter praised Finney’s visionary leadership and emphasized the strength of the company’s technological foundation. He looks forward to collaborating with Finney and the rest of the team to expand All.Space’s groundbreaking satellite solutions to a broader client base. McCarter highlighted that this is a pivotal moment for the company as they prepare to enhance their offerings and make a significant impact in the satellite communications market.
As All.Space continues to innovate and push the boundaries of satellite connectivity, the leadership transition marks a new chapter in the company’s evolution, with both Finney and McCarter playing crucial roles in its future success.
