Aker Solutions appointed David Currie as the head of its UK business to help lead the company’s expansion in a key market. Currie comes from FMC Technologies, where he has held various positions since 1985, most recently as director of global subsea operations.
A native of Scotland, he will be based in Aberdeen, working in the maintenance, modifications and operations, drilling technologies and subsea business areas. He will also oversee operations in Stockton-On-Tees and the recently opened office in London, which over time will become a hub for global engineering and subsea services.
“David is an oil industry veteran with a significant track record in developing successful businesses”, said Aker Solutions Executive Chairman Øyvind Eriksen. “His experience in the subsea and energy sectors will be a huge asset in developing Aker Solutions in the UK and beyond.”
Currie studied law in Aberdeen and has a post-graduate Human Resources’ education. He will report to Eriksen as one of four regional presidents, starting January 20, 2014.
