EchoStar Mourns Loss of Satellite Industry Visionary Dean Olmstead
With profound sadness, EchoStar Corporation (NASDAQ: SATS) announces the passing of Dean Olmstead, president of EchoStar Satellite Services L.L.C., after a courageously fought battle with cancer.
Dean joined EchoStar shortly after the company's spin-off from DISH Network in January 2008, and was instrumental in building the foundation and guiding the strategic course for the company's then-nascent satellite operations.
