Global controls technology company Proserv has appointed two new General Managers (GM) for its businesses in Stavanger, Norway and Doha, Qatar. Rune Christian Godejord and Trevor Ogilvie count more than 30 years’ experience in the energy industry between them, including in subsea oil and gas and topside controls across multiple regions.
Rune Christian Godejord has taken up the role of GM in Stavanger, joining Proserv from oilfield services company Baker Hughes where he was Country Manager for Norway, with responsibility for its subsea ventures and topside activities. Godejord has worked for more than 20 years in the oil and gas segment, with the majority of that time spent at TechnipFMC. In previous posts, he has overseen a sales function extending across the Eastern Hemisphere and built up a controls system business while based in Singapore.
Godejord has experience in expanding subsea operations and this is a crucial target area for Proserv which has a key subsea technology and R&D Centre of Excellence based in Trondheim in central Norway. There are close synergies between these sites and Godejord will leverage them to accelerate further activities in Norwegian waters for Proserv’s renowned solutions, including its augmented controls technology (ACT).
Trevor Ogilvie has taken on the responsibility of GM in Doha, having joined Proserv more than two years ago as its Technical Sales Manager for Saudi Arabia and Qatar. Ogilvie has extensive experience in the oil and gas industry in the Arabian Gulf and has also spent time in the UK during more than five years with integrated solutions provider Alderley. Before moving to Proserv, Ogilvie was the Middle East Operations Manager for a leading storage tank specialist.
Proserv’s facility in Doha delivers a broad range of service support including manufacturing, onshore and offshore maintenance and trading, with some of the world’s biggest OEMs and national energy companies among the regular clientele. Ogilvie will leverage his experience working with the major national players in the region to further build his team’s portfolio of customers.
