Hunter Technology (HOC) has named current board member Dr. Konstantino Ghertsos as Chief Executive Officer effective immediately.

“I am excited to transition the CEO role to Kostas. He has been integral in connecting our existing technologies to opportunities in West and Central Africa, and beyond. Under his commercially focused guidance the company will be able to accelerate its path towards revenue generation,” said outgoing interim CEO Alain Fernandez.

“I would like to thank Alain and the board for this appointment,” said Dr. Ghertsos. “I look forward to continuing the existing efforts to implement HMS in unserved markets in Central Africa. There are many use-cases we have been working on this year. These include both sovereign and private opportunities and will be scalable across many countries,” added Dr. Ghertsos.

He has served as Director of Supply for Inver Energy Ltd. in Ireland and was previously a Senior Trader at MRI Trading in Switzerland. He has also held several key trading and senior executive roles in European public companies. Dr. Ghertsos holds a BSc in Oceanography and Marine Biology from the University of Southampton, a Matrise (Master’s Degree) in Marine Ecology from the University of Paris VI, & a Ph.D. in Oceanography & a DEA in Data Analysis & Computer Modeling from the University of Lille I.
