SGS Makes New Executive Appointments

Miami-based Subsea Global Solutions (SGS) has appointed Harun Duzgoren to their management team as executive director, Business Development & Strategy, effective October 21, 2016.

Duzgoren joins SGS from maritime services provider V.Ships, where he had spent more than 16 years in different senior positions. His last remit with V.Group was to head up the business development function for all group services covering the EMEA region.

“We are delighted to have Harun join our management team. With his vast experience in international marine services, we expect him to build and drive key strategic initiatives aligned with the company’s vision and long term targets, lead the transformation of the business development and strategy function, and support the Group’s growth,” said Paul Peters, CEO of Subsea Global Solutions.

“I am truly excited to join the SGS family, an agile, progressive company with realistic ambitions. Our cutting edge underwater technology, combined with an unparalleled diving experience with more than 100 divers, and global coverage, sets us apart from our competitors, and we will build on that strong reputation. I look forward to working with our management team and adding strategic value to our clients’ operations worldwide,” Duzgoren added.

With the appointment of Duzgoren to the SGS management team, Rick Shilling has accepted the position of executive vice-president of SGS Global Technical Group. He has been leading SGS’ business development team for the past 10 years after a successful 16-year career in key sales and management positions with Wartsila Corporation.
