Comtech adds public safety veteran to its board of directors

Comtech Telecommunications Corp. (NASDAQ: CMTL) has appointed Christopher D. Maloney as an independent director, effective October 1, 2026, bringing its board to seven members, according to a company press release.

Maloney founded TriTech Software Systems in 1993 and served as its chief executive and chairman until its sale to Bain Capital in 2018. Under his leadership, TriTech grew to more than 750 employees and 3,000 installations across 14 countries, completing 14 acquisitions. He subsequently served as CEO of SOMA Global, a cloud-based public safety software provider, from 2021 to 2024.

Maloney currently holds board positions at ImageTrend, GovWorx, and Tango Tango, all of which operate in public safety or government technology. He has been a partner of Maloney Holdings LP since 2018 and holds a bachelor's degree in Management Science and Computer Science from the University of California, San Diego.

"We are thrilled to welcome Chris to the Board," said Ken Traub, chairman, president and CEO of Comtech. "He is a highly accomplished leader with deep public safety market expertise, which will be invaluable as we are sharpening the Company's focus on public safety following the anticipated closing of the sale of most of the Satellite & Space Communications segment."

The appointment follows Comtech's stated shift toward public safety technology through its Allerium subsidiary, which provides Next Generation 9-1-1 emergency services and location-intelligence platforms.
