Global Eagle names Stephanie Mann Senior Account Executive, Oil & Gas

Company affirms commitment to deliver critical connectivity and content to energy sector

LOS ANGELES - April 13, 2021: Global Eagle, the leading provider of high-speed connectivity and entertainment solutions for demanding worldwide mobility markets, welcomes the leadership of Stephanie Mann as Senior Account Executive, Oil & Gas, affirming the company's commitment to serving the energy sector worldwide.

“Global Eagle has the opportunity to establish ourselves more firmly in oil and gas, as a provider of critical connectivity for the industry’s crews and operations, both off and onshore. We believe Stephanie’s experience and drive – coupled with our quality and reliability – will help us grow and serve our customer base in the energy sector,” said Josh Marks, Global Eagle’s CEO.

In her new position, Mann will support current clients’ connectivity and content needs, while equally focusing on business development, establishing Global Eagle as a lead provider in the sector.

Marks continued: “Communication in the energy sector is literally a matter of life and death. We offer peace of mind to our customers whose crews might be offshore for weeks on a rig, or at sea in a transport or support vessel. We provide reliable connectivity and responsive support staff to make sure crews can do their essential work, with connections they can count on.”

Mann said: “The energy sector was obviously hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic, as people all but halted travel. But energy never stops. Oil and gas has endured countless downturns throughout recent history, and we always respond by finding ways to work smarter. Crews continued to work and, likewise, we worked relentlessly to create innovative solutions for our customers’ changing needs.”

Prior to Global Eagle, Houston, TX-based Mann was a Global Account Executive at Speedcast, where she managed oil and gas accounts and led the company’s global retention strategy. She also worked at CITGO as an account manager, and spent five years with SK Lubricants Americas Inc., first as an operations analyst, then in sales & marketing.
