DigitalGlobe (NYSE: DGI), a leading provider of commercial
high-resolution earth observation and advanced geospatial
solutions, today announced that Fred Graffam will become Interim
Chief Financial Officer for the company, effective Sept. 3, 2014.
He assumes responsibility for financial operations as the company
continues its search for a successor to departing CFO, Yancey L.
Spruill. Spruill’s departure was announced previously on May 1,
2014.
Graffam has served as the company’s Vice President of Financial
Planning & Analysis since July 2013. Prior to joining
DigitalGlobe, Graffam served as Senior VP of Finance – North
America and Asia Pacific for Level 3 Communications from 2012 to
July 2013. In this role, Graffam led all financial operations for
Level 3’s North America region with a particular focus on

Corporation, serving as Senior VP of Comcast’s Beltway Region from
2008 to 2011 and as Senior VP-Finance, West Division from 2002 to
2008. He began his career in public accounting with Deloitte.
“We are pleased to be able to appoint Fred Graffam as Interim
CFO. He has broad experience leading various finance roles for
larger companies, and has proven his leadership at DigitalGlobe
over the last year,” said Jeffrey R. Tarr, CEO. “Fred’s experience,
coupled with the deep bench we have built within the finance
organization, will ensure continuity in the management of our
finance function while we complete our external search for a
CFO.”
The transition of CFO responsibilities from Spruill to Graffam
will be effective immediately, as Spruill departs to begin a new
job outside DigitalGlobe.
“Yancey made significant contributions to DigitalGlobe’s success
over the last decade,” said Tarr. "We wish him well in his new
venture.”
