The Board of Directors of CarteNav Solutions, from its office in Halifax, Nova Scotia, is pleased to announce that Mr. Paul Evans will assume the responsibility of Chief Executive Officer effective December 1st, 2014. This appointment follows the decision by Vice Admiral (ret’d) Lynn Mason to retire after nearly eight years as CarteNav’s CEO.
Admiral Mason joined CarteNav as CEO after serving on an advisory board to the company. He is a Commander of the Order of Military Merit and has been awarded an honorary doctorate of laws from Dalhousie University and another of military science from the Royal Military College of Canada.
Mr. Evans has been with CarteNav since 2010 in the capacity of Chief Operating Officer, a position in which he had responsibility for business development, marketing, and sales. Mr. Evans has a wealth of software technology experience including prior leadership roles at a large international information technology and consulting company. Mr. Evans is currently a member of the board of the Aerospace and Defence Industry Association of Nova Scotia, and holds a Master of Computer Science degree from Dalhousie University and a Master of Business Administration from Saint Mary’s University.
Mr. Evans assumes his responsibilities at an exciting time for CarteNav with a number of recent project wins to provide its mission and sensor management software to leading military, government, and commercial customers worldwide – most recently to the National Police Air Service of the United Kingdom.
“I am excited to be given this opportunity to lead CarteNav at this time of rapid growth,” said Mr. Evans. “CarteNav’s talented and dedicated team continues to innovate and create industry-leading solutions for our global network of customers and partners. In addition to new customers, a number of our existing clients have major upgrades planned to take advantage of the new capabilities we are bringing to the market,” he continued.
CarteNav’s, AIMS-HD and AIMS-ISR® products have become extremely successful software solutions with specialized toolsets for roles of surveillance, airborne law enforcement, search and rescue, infrastructure inspection, and forest fire mapping, amongst others.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank Lynn for his leadership and wish him all the very best for his retirement.
