=== Employees === The first five employees of Globalstar were transferred from the founding companies in 1991. Although few figures were publicly disclosed, the company apparently reached a peak of about 350 employees until layoffs in March 2001. However, this figure was misleading, as most of the development, operations, and sales employees were employed by the company's strategic partners.{{citation needed|date=February 2016}} The company then appointed satellite telecommunications veteran Olof Lundberg to lead a turnaround at the company to serve as chairman and CEO. After beginning his career with Swedish Telecom, Lundberg had been founding Director General (later CEO) of [[Inmarsat]] from 1979 to 1995. He served as founding CEO and later CEO and Chairman of [[ICO Global Communications]] from 1995 to 1999. Lundberg resigned from the company (then in bankruptcy) on June 30, 2003. [[Paul E. Jacobs]] was named CEO of Globalstar on Aug. 29, 2023, replacing David Kagan.
