Seatronics names Derek Donaldson as V.P. of global operations

ABERDEEN, United Kingdom -- Seatronics Ltd. has promoted Derek Donaldson from V.P. of Asia Pacific to V.P. of global operations.

Donaldson enters into a new position within the Seatronics Group management structure, reporting directly to the Seatronics Group MD, Phil Middleton.

Donaldson and Middleton will together support regional vice presidents in managing and developing the global Seatronics business. Donaldson will be based in Singapore and will continue to manage the regional office, whilst maintaining a global presence.

Donaldson studied mechanical engineering at Napier University in Edinburgh, UK. After completing a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) pilot training scheme, Donaldson later became an ROV professional involved in a number of challenging projects ranging from the shallow, low visibility waters of the Southern North Sea to the ultra-deep waters of Brazil.

A move onshore saw Donaldson transition into a sales position with Sonardyne, where he quickly progressed to the position of V.P., responsible for the Europe and Africa regions. Joining Seatronics Pte Ltd in 2007 as V.P. of Asia Pacific, Donaldson has successfully grown the base and business capability in the region.
