MEASAT names John Loke CTO to lead AI, multi-orbit growth strategy
Returning executive to steer innovation and satellite tech roadmap
KUALA LUMPUR: MEASAT Global Berhad has appointed John Loke as its chief technology officer, tasking the returning executive with steering its next phase of innovation and growth.
In his new role, Loke will lead the company’s digital evolution and regional strategy, with a focus on AI-led solutions and multi-orbit satellite capabilities. He will also oversee key divisions spanning satellite and network engineering, operations, and IT and digital transformation, while handling the technical side of satellite and launch procurement.
The appointment marks a homecoming of sorts. Loke previously spent a decade at MEASAT in senior leadership roles, including vice president of network engineering and operations and customer engineering. During that time, he played a key role in delivering major initiatives such as MEASAT-3a, MEASAT-3b and the CONNECTme service, strengthening the company’s position in the region.
Most recently, he served as CTO at a Singapore-based satellite operator, where he led the rollout of high-speed broadband services across the Asia-Pacific market. Earlier in his career, Loke was part of the pioneering team at Singapore Telecommunications Ltd that launched the ST-1 satellite operation.
With deep institutional knowledge and a broad regional lens, Loke’s return comes at a time when satellite players are rethinking strategy amid rapid technological change. His mandate is clear: align innovation with growth and ensure MEASAT stays firmly in orbit in an increasingly competitive spacetech landscape.
