Dave Abel has been announced as the new Chief Executive Officer at C Speed. Abel succeeds Kevin McLaughlin, who led the company through a period of significant growth and maturation.
Abel brings more than 30 years of experience leading public sector technology companies through growth, transformation, and platform expansion in mission-critical markets. His appointment positions C Speed to scale its capabilities for federal, defense, and international customers at a moment when domain awareness has become a defining requirement across air, land, sea, and space.
“Our customers expect more from us every year, and they should,” said Andy Maner, Executive Chairman of C Speed. “Dave has spent his career delivering technology that meets the highest standards in regulated, mission-critical environments. He understands what’s at stake for the agencies and partners we serve, and he knows how to build companies that scale to meet that demand.”
“There’s real momentum at C Speed right now,” said Abel. “We’re delivering precise, early-warning domain awareness that operators count on. And we’re investing in the talent and development that keep us ahead of what the mission demands. The C Speed people are why this technology performs, and my job is to make sure we deliver at the speed and scale this market needs.”
