Ace Aquatec hires Davidson as CTO

Aquaculture and marine technology company Ace Aquatec has appointed Keith Davidson as Chief Technology Officer.

Bringing a wealth of experience leading global technology teams, he joins from Singapore-based tech company Aaquaverse – which, despite its name, is focused on social media, not aquaculture.

Ace Aquatec said: “Having managed teams across the USA, Canada, India, China, Europe and Asia, Keith has worked with technology companies at every stage, from start-ups to multinational corporations. A deep curiosity for all things science and technology led him to the role and his extensive experience of aligning technology strategies with overall business goals will support Ace Aquatec to achieve its aim of developing world-class ethical technology for the growing global aquaculture sector.”

Keith Davidson commented: “There are few professional opportunities that come along where you have the chance to work across almost every engineering discipline. Ace Aquatec products span mechanical, electrical, electronic, software and AI and as a technologist and engineer at heart this is an ideal opportunity to work in a field where technology is truly used for good. I plan to take this opportunity to build on the fantastic work already being done by Ace Aquatec’s world class technology team to provide fully integrated intelligent aquiculture products that support our customers to operate efficiently and humanely.”

Nathan Pyne-Carter, CEO of Ace Aquatec said: “We’re thrilled to welcome Keith to the executive team and everyone at Ace Aquatec is looking forward to working with him on the further development of our high-welfare aquaculture technologies. Keith’s core principles clearly align with our ethos, and we are delighted he is joining at a time of growth for the company and sector as a whole.”
