The Blue Ocean Monitoring Group has matured significantly over the past 12 months. In particular, the use of joint ventures to leverage the Group’s technology and industry reach has enabled the Group to expand its sphere of influence significantly.

The Board considered that additional specific energy (including renewables) industry expertise on the Board would benefit the Group. The Directors elected to appoint Ms Mary Hackett to the Board on 26 August 2021.

She is currently Non-Executive Director and Chair of the ESS (Environment, Social and Safety) committee for Northern Star Resources, Chair of Future Energy Exports Cooperative Research Centre, Non-Executive Director of Strike Energy and Non-Executive Director of SapienCyber.

A Graduate of AICD and is a Fellow of Engineers Australia, Ms Hackett holds an honours degree in Mechanical Engineering from University College Galway, Ireland.
