He brings a nationally recognized reputation and record of success at the highest levels of government, academia, and the private sector,” said Marine Slingue VP at iXblue. “His comprehensive technical knowledge of oceanography and navigation, as well as extensive experience in the field in the US Navy and with NOAA will be of great value to iXblue.”
