"We are delighted we were able to attract Dan Goldberg to lead Telesat Canada through the next stage in the company's evolution, given Larry's decision to retire after an exemplary career," said Michael Sabia, President and CEO of BCE Inc.

"Dan brings a unique skill set to Telesat both in terms of his success at building a business and in terms of his experience in corporate transactions," said Sabia. "He knows the satellite service industry, has produced exceptional operating results, and is no stranger to the recapitalization process Telesat and BCE are working on. Dan is well qualified to be the architect of Telesat's future," Sabia added.

Goldberg, a graduate of the Harvard Law School, has been working in the communications sector for the past 15 years and in satellite operating companies since 1998, most recently at New Skies - an owner operator of a global satellite communications network that provides satellite capacity and other services for the transmission of video, data, internet and voice services to corporate and government entities around the world.

During his tenure at New Skies, Goldberg led a team that took a small start-up created through the partial privatization of an intergovernmental satellite system and built a pre-eminent global player in a highly competitive industry. He also helped launch two successful Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) and concluded two private sales between 2000 and 2006.

Boisvert will remain a senior advisor at Telesat, on loan to BCE for the upcoming months.
