DrillDocs, the innovative provider of advanced digital shale shaker surveillance technology, has made significant strides in bolstering its leadership team as part of its strategic growth initiative. Recently, the company announced the appointments of Dr. Mert Geveci as Chief Technology Officer (CTO) and Eric Lee as Chief Financial Officer (CFO). This move reflects DrillDocs' commitment to enhancing its capabilities and optimizing its operations in the rapidly evolving offshore drilling sector.

A Visionary in Technology

Dr. Mert Geveci is known for his extensive background in the energy sector, boasting more than 15 years of experience that spans various domains such as research and development, product development, and field support. Before joining DrillDocs, Dr. Geveci held key positions at prominent companies like GE, Cummins, and Malta. His past roles included overseeing complex projects and driving efficiencies within his teams, which ultimately led to significant product innovation and market growth.

At DrillDocs, he is set to play a pivotal role in shaping the company's technical roadmap. His responsibilities will include system architecture, data management, cloud infrastructure, and ensuring system reliability and cybersecurity. As DrillDocs co-founder Francois Ruel transitions into the role of Chief Science Officer, Dr. Geveci's leadership will be essential in accelerating the company's innovation agenda and intellectual property development.

Expertise in Financial Strategy

Joining DrillDocs as CFO, Eric Lee brings a wealth of experience from his fractional role since October 2024. He has a rich background in early-stage startups across various domains, including B2B SaaS, medtech, and cleantech. His deep understanding of startup dynamics and finance will be crucial as DrillDocs navigates its next phase of growth, particularly as the company begins to engage with more complex customers such as national oil companies.

As a full-time CFO, Lee will oversee capital allocation and the strategic deployment of company funds. His focus on financial discipline is aimed at balancing rapid growth while maintaining a solid financial foundation, crucial for scaling the business effectively.

Leadership Perspectives

Calvin Holt, the founder and CEO of DrillDocs, stated, “Our continued growth as an emerging global SaaS provider in the offshore drilling sector requires building a talented, industry-hardened team. The skills and experience that Mert brings to the team will be critical to delivering effective, valuable products and services to our growing customer base. Meanwhile, Eric has already demonstrated his ability to take us from bootstrapping startup to a professionally and efficiently financed business, and we're delighted that he is joining us on a full-time basis.”

Echoing the CEO's sentiments, Garret Holt, Chairman of the board, added, “These important hires reinforce DrillDocs' commitment to delivering enhanced drilling performance and safety to blue-chip operators around the globe. As our technology continues to mature, we see it becoming an integral part of standard drilling practices on offshore and high-risk wells worldwide. It will take a world-class team to manage that growth trajectory.”
