Ewan has over 23 years of international experience in the oil, gas, and mining service sector. He joined Halliburton in 1996 and ran MWD, LWD and DD tools in the UK, Middle East, North America and Europe.

Here he helped develop, test, and deploy new technologies as well as coordinated and managed sales and operations for both small cap and multinational oil and gas operators in the UK and Europe.

 In 2012 Ewan moved to Australia and drove the growth of PathFinder’s Directional Drilling and MWD business in conventional and unconventional oil and gas, and coal mining basins.  During the rapid increase in CSG/CBM activity he and the team brought new levels of service quality and operational efficiency to these markets.

 Ewan joined GeoGlide in 2019, bringing those same leadership qualities and success to a new endeavour. He is currently driving HSE, service quality and business growth through the provision of the latest technologies to customers in Australia and Internationally.

Ian has more than 35 years experience in the petroleum industry and has lived and worked in North Africa and the Middle East for most of his career. In his early career as a petroleum geologist, he worked for several different oil companies before moving on to a commercial role joining Conoco’s Middle East to lead their new ventures group as Vice President.

 In 1999, he took on the role of CEO at Dragon Oil plc. Here, he initiated a business plan that saw the company achieve a market capitalisation of $1.5 billion. By 2003, he’d established a consulting firm in Dubai where he serviced clients across 40 countries.

 At the same time, he served as a non-executive director to several companies across the UK, US, and Canada. In 2009 he was appointed CEO of Cadogan Petroleum plc. Here, he successfully transformed the business; resolving disputes, cutting costs, increasing production, and securing the company a major strategic investor.

Alex brings to the GeoGlide board twenty-five years of experience in global investment banking, and a further ten years as an entrepreneur in the mining and power industry in South East Asia.

After leaving Merrill Lynch International in 2009 as a member of the Asia investment banking management committee and head of Equity Capital Markets for the Pacific region, he joined the Merton Group as Executive Chairman and Managing Director. Merton’s projects include the first international standard underground coal mine in the Philippines, the development of significant coal reserves in Central Kalimantan, Indonesia, and successfully tendering for a 200MW Indonesian government independent power plant power purchase agreement. These projects were subsequently sold to public companies in Thailand and Indonesia.

With board experience in multiple jurisdictions over the past decade, Alex combines a deep knowledge of governance, public and private financial markets, and a solid understanding of the drilling industry as an engager of its services throughout Asia. His primary focus is on strategic growth, capital solutions and creation of long-term shareholder value for the company.
