The Satellite Hall of Fame was introduced in 1987 to recognise the
valuable contributions of the visionaries and pioneers who have made
possible the age of satellite communications - individuals who have
devoted their careers to the advancement of technology and to helping
build the political and commercial foundations of the industry.
In its commendation praising the achievements of the President and CEO
of SES, SSPI notes that "since joining SES in 1995, Romain Bausch
provided the leadership that transformed SES from a regional satellite
company offering direct-to-home TV distribution in Europe to a global
satellite operator serving broadcasters, telcos, enterprise, and
government customers. Under his leadership, SES became one of the big
"consolidators" in the FSS industry, integrating among others Nordic
Satellite AB, GE Americom and New Skies Satellites, and also providing
significant investment and support to O3b Networks. He managed this
expansion program while keeping SES on a solid financial footing and
took the company public in a successful IPO in 1998. Romain Bausch is
also Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors of O3b Networks, member of
the Board of the European Satellite Operators' Association (ESOA) and a
Directr of Luxembourg's Business Federation. In 2002, he was honoured
as Via Satellite's Satellite Executive of the Year."
