Myriota appoints George Kanuck as Chief Operating Officer to drive global growth and operational excellence

Myriota, a global leader in satellite IoT connectivity, has appointed George Kanuck as Chief Operating Officer, based in Austin, Texas in the United States. With an expanding presence across 57 countries, the appointment reinforces Myriota’s focus on operational excellence, scalable growth, and partner enablement as global demand accelerates.

Kanuck brings more than 20 years of C-suite leadership experience across complex, sophisticated technology solutions in IoT, security, and enterprise technology, including senior roles at Trustonic, Good Technology, and within the Nutanix ecosystem. Most recently, as Chief Revenue Officer at Monetate, he made significant impacts, helping to realign customer needs with product offerings returning customer loyalty back to 90%+ levels.

His career has been defined by building high-performance global operations, aligning go-to-market execution with customer outcomes, and scaling organisations through periods of rapid growth. As demand accelerates for secure, low-power, and affordable IoT connectivity, his experience positions him to drive Myriota’s next phase of growth, with a focus on:

• Scaling global service delivery and customer operations to support adoption of Myriota’s HyperPulse™ and UltraLite™ networks across sectors including oil and gas, renewable energy, logistics, agriculture, water and government. 
• Optimising end-to-end operational performance, ensuring simplicity, reliability, and speed as Myriota’s partner ecosystem expands
• Building a unified operational backbone for OEMs, solution providers, and enterprise customers deploying IoT at global scale

Ben Cade, CEO of Myriota, said the appointment comes at a pivotal moment for the company:

“With HyperPulse now in General Availability available across multiple markets, and strong momentum across agriculture, logistics, resources, and environmental monitoring, we’re entering our next phase of growth,” Cade said. “George brings a rare combination of operational rigor, commercial insight, and experience scaling complex technology solutions. His mandate is clear: shorten time-to-success for partners, strengthen service performance at scale, and ensure every customer interaction reflects the reliability of our network.”

Kanuck added:

“Myriota has engineered its networks from the ground up to deliver critical data from assets anywhere in the world, with a resilience born in the world’s hardest‑to‑reach places, rather than retrofitting consumer or mobile satellite systems. That specialist architecture underpins ultra‑low‑power operation, truly global reach, and predictable performance with networks and devices that “just work” across a broad and impactful range of IoT use cases. I’m excited to turn this technology advantage into world‑class operations that make it faster and easier for our customers and partners to deploy, scale, and rely on Myriota every day.”

Over the past decade, Myriota has built an expanding satellite constellation, secured a substantial patent portfolio of over 170 patents, and raised more than $100 million in funding. It now delivers IoT connectivity and hardware solutions to over 200 customers across North and South America, Europe, the Middle East and Asia-Pacific. With teams across 19 global locations and deep partnerships in key markets, Myriota remains focused on its mission to connect the physical world for impact.
