Barbara Hathaway has been named as Ovarro’s new technology leader specializing in leakage solutions.Barbara began her career in technology as a software engineer with Primayer, which was bought by Ovarro in 2019.
In 2020, she was promoted to vice president of engineering after serving as customer service manager and technical services director.
Barbara will lead and develop Ovarro’s technological strategy and plan for leakage solutions in this newly formed post.
“The last two years have been an incredibly difficult time for the electronics industry, with supply chain shortages affecting the entire sector,” she said.
“Thankfully, these issues are beginning to fade, allowing us to refocus our efforts on researching and developing next-generation leakage reduction technologies for the global water sector.
” I think that through collaborating with others in the sector, I will be able to quickly drive through exciting technical concepts and collaborations that can assist utilities with their leakage strategy.
“As the world’s population grows, so does the demand for water.” Widespread loss due to leaking pipes is no longer acceptable in the eyes of the public, and regulators and water corporations must ensure that their assets are as efficient as possible.
“This means that businesses are more open to new ways of working, with many adopting our acoustic fixed network loggers.” We are presently investigating how our goods and services can be improved even more in order to have a bigger influence on leakage targets and environmental performance.
“It is a very exciting time for water technology – I’m thrilled to be leading Ovarro’s drive to help utilities conserve water supplies by developing advanced leakage reduction services.”
“I am delighted to announce Barbara Hathaway as Ovarro’s new leakage technology leader,” stated Ovarro CEO David Frost.
“Her knowledge and experience with leakage technology are unparalleled, and this newly created role places her at the heart of our efforts to bring next generation products and services to the global water industry.”
