Leadership Team

Why I Founded HUVRdata
I believe that in any successful professional journey, four things must come together. Business goals must align with a pressing opportunity, and a pervasive market need – all at the right time and with a little luck mixed in. It was the alignment of all four that made me embark on founding HUVR. It was also with a vision to create a company where employees could change an industry and see the fruits of their work each day, all while enabling a culture of proactivity, accountability, transparency and harmonized execution. I’m extremely proud to be a part of HUVR today and to help guide our future.

Why I Joined HUVRdata

My criteria for joining a new organization are very simple, but demanding: 1) there must be a world-class culture driven from the top down; 2) there must be a massive opportunity for professional growth; and 3) it must bring me closer to fulfilling my mission of implementing robots for good. HUVR checks every box. After spending the last decade making drone and robotic technology more capable, I knew that leveraging the rich data that they create to drive insights and positive change was the key to scaling adoption. I am thrilled to be helping world-class enterprises along this journey.

Why I Joined HUVRdata

I joined HUVRdata because it was the perfect place to use the skills, experience – and most importantly, passions – I’d gained over the last 20 years.  I’ve worked as an individually contributing engineer focused on building technology for the DOD, as the founder/CEO of multiple startups, as the leader of development teams, as a CTO and as a mentor to aspiring entrepreneurs.  I love creating  and maximizing the value of technology almost as much as I love leading and empowering teams.  HUVR is the perfect venue for both.

Why I Became a HUVRdata Advisor

Although the renewables industry is rapidly maturing, there remains a huge gap related to how inspections of operational assets are performed and what is done with the data collected. Further, as more and more large-scale hybrid projects (wind, solar, storage) are built, the challenges in managing these assets becomes even more complex. HUVR has a unique approach to solving this challenging issue and can really positively influence the direction of this growing sector over the coming years. I’m delighted to be able to provide my perspective gained having worked in this sector for the last two decades

Why I Became a HUVRdata Advisor

During times of uncertainty with managing equipment assets, the need for proper management of integrity data has never been so important as it is now. HUVR provides unique data management solutions and I’m proud to be part of their advisory team, providing innovative and actionable management of inspection and maintenance data enabling owner/users the ability to be forever proactive instead of reactive to their integrity management. I look forward to HUVR being the new model for integrity management as “Xerox” once was to document reproduction era in the 70s.

Why I Became a HUVRdata Advisor

In my experience there are a large number of mid to small size companies that may have a handle on the data-gathering side, but perhaps not aware of the complexity in an intuitive data-presentation layer for customers, co-workers, clients. Larger companies may opt for an in-house solution that may suffer from sustainability challenges, true integration, and uptime as employees move to other opportunities. I aim to utilize my experiences and challenges faced over 30 + years in oil & gas to help HUVR provide a clear choice for customers and industries utilizing robotics/image-based inspections.

Why I Became a HUVRdata Advisor

I had been looking for a software solution for many years to deal with the unique needs of tanks. The challenge was to find a system that would be useful to the integrity, operational and management organizations in a company. When I was introduced to the way HUVR could not only handle third party inspections but also bring value in the form of customizable checklists, I was sold. I enjoy helping HUVR help their customers to solve their problems and create value.

Why I Became a HUVRdata Advisor

Seeing the solution before the problem is observed can be found through individual hunches. That is what drew me to HUVR early in their entrance to the inspection space as it aligned with the intention/initiation of Valkim Technologies. Their vision for simplifying the cumbersome proprietary data formats, ingestion of content and linkage to Inspection Data Management Systems (IDMS) was an industry challenge that grew as digitization set in the strategic horizon for all in the inspection and maintenance space. As well as their intuitive understanding of workflows to guide the transition of technician, technology, and customer, ushered their adoption readily.

The opportunity to be an Advisor is such a privilege for me as our synergies seem to jive and resonate. The opportunity to witness first-hand their growth efforts, successes and plans is a privilege one holds dear as the cadence of change encroaches on convention. We view these exciting times and I appreciate the opportunity to participate.

Why I Became a HUVRdata Advisor

I have spent the last 30 years defining the technical requirements for implementing and operationalizing integrity management programs for topsides, subsea, and pipelines. The IM projects always included data management systems and workflow processes.

In my last role, I had the pleasure of leading a global effort to replace the legacy IDMS with a new common tool or a suite of tools. The mind map that I have shared with HUVR is an illustration of all the functionality that we were going to deliver. Functionality, data visualization, and digital workflow are the three key pillars of modern IDMS.

I’m confident that through joint collaboration with HUVR, and our industry advisory team, we can deliver a best-in-class solution that the market will adopt.

Based on the application’s current functionality, the effort to design and build a best-in-class solution is within our grasp as we are not looking at a total recoding scenario. We’re early in designing and delivering a phased modular functionality supported by industry expertise and best management practices.
