Business
Joe Governski is an executive at Maxar Technologies focused on advancing analytical tradecraft. He has spent his career building strong, agile, analytical teams that demonstrate the art of the possible. While he loves geospatial analysis, Joe is a thoughtful leader who is passionate about people: developing them, empowering them, and helping them succeed at whatever they want to do. His strength is his ability to buck convention in order to produce better results. He handpicks unconventional teams, avoids the 3 Ms, meetings, metrics and micromanaging (as he calls them,) and encourages out-of-the-box thinking to get his folks to buy into their work and ultimately deliver best-in-class products. Joe believes in the missions he supports and infects the places he works with positivity.Prior to Maxar, Joe was the VP of GEOINT Services at HumanGeo, a product manager at Digital Globe, a PM at Leidos/SAIC, and has held various geospatial engineering positions.
