His extensive experience in serving the energy industry and managing rapid-growth organizations is an excellent fit for enabling our vision and global growth strategy.

Bashforth was previously CEO of the reservoir management specialist Ikon Science, where he transformed the business from a traditional software sales organization into a profitable SaaS (software-as-a-service) company providing innovative cloud solutions. Under his leadership, Bashforth spearheaded Ikon’s substantial revenue growth. He secured the successful exit for Ikon Science with a sale from FPE Capital to Great Hill Partners. He also led the acquisition of Perigon Solutions and the development of Curate, their new knowledge management solution. Mark brings more than 20 years of business transformation and technology commercialization expertise in software for oil & gas. He has held numerous global executive roles at several internationally-known technology companies including Roxar, Jason/CGG, USSI and FEI, where he improved their overall revenue growth and market share.
“Ovation Data is an impressive organization with a 45-year track record of serving the oil & gas industry with dedication to service excellence,” said Bashforth. “I am eager to contribute my skills in building on the company’s strong history of solving complex data management challenges and its reputation for delivering innovative capabilities that help our customers better manage their data.”
