Boasting nearly 40 years’ experience in undersea product development from complex sonars to sensors and undersea cable and connectors, Mildon has held a number of senior positions, most recently as technical director at Nest Technical Services. His leadership skills saw him successfully lead teams in submarine penetration designs, under water connectors and numerous fiber optic inter-connect products.
In his new role, Mildon will be focused on shaping and delivering Hydro Group Systems to carry the same vision of Hydro Group Plc, based in Aberdeen, Scotland. Along with developing this vision in the US naval, oil and gas and renewable sectors, he is also to set up a manufacturing facility to produce Hydro Group products to the US market.
Doug Whyte, Hydro Group managing director, said: “We are growing at a significant rate, going from strength to strength which has led to the creation of Hydro Group Systems. As president, Mildon will deliver product and service excellence, develop our people, shape innovation and ensure Hydro Group - as a whole - continues to exceed expectation at all levels.
“Throughout his time in the industry Mildon has built up invaluable experience and expertise, and I look forward to working with him and seeing the value he will bring to both our business and our customers.”
Hydro Group develops the complete subsea electrical and optical interconnect package, built to withstand the harshest environmental conditions.
