Quadsat appoints Karina Bergstrøm Larsen as new Chairman

Quadsat, a specialist provider of UAV-based RF measurement solutions, has named Karina Bergstrøm Larsen as its new Chairman of the Board.

Karina brings to Quadsat a wealth of experience in the satellite industry, having founded and successfully scaled her own company before achieving a successful exit to Honeywell Aerospace. She currently serves as an independent consultant for satellite and aerospace industries, alongside her commitment to mentoring and empowering girls to pursue careers in STEM fields.

Karina assumes the role as Torben Frigaard Rasmussen steps down from his position as Chairman, following his pivotal role in securing a significant Series A funding round of €9m for Quadsat last year. Despite his transition, Torben remains closely involved with Quadsat as a shareholder and trusted advisor.

Commenting on the transition, Torben Frigaard Rasmussen remarked: “I am immensely proud of the progress Quadsat has made under my stewardship. Karina’s appointment marks an exciting new chapter for the company, and I have full confidence in her ability to lead Quadsat to even greater success.”

Karina Bergstrøm Larsen added: “Quadsat has developed a game-changing technology for the satcoms industry and has already gained a lot of interest and traction. Having known the team at Quadsat for a number of years, I know we have a shared passion and dedication to innovation and excellence. I am looking forward to working with the team to ramp up the commercial growth.”

Quadsat’s innovative testing solution is revolutionising accurate testing and optimisation, empowering network owners to ensure world-class performance for their customers consistently. This cost-effective, scalable, and precise method simplifies antenna testing while making it accessible globally.

Joakim Espeland, CEO and Founder of Quadsat, stated: “I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to Torben for his leadership and dedication to Quadsat. His guidance has been instrumental in our growth. As we move onto the next stage, I am excited to be working with Karina. I know that her leadership and strategic acumen will put us in a strong position to capitalise on emerging opportunities and spearhead advancements in satellite testing solutions.”
