MetOcean Telematics, a global Iridium satellite Value-Added Reseller headquartered in Canada, announced the promotion of Laura Squires to Director of Business Intelligence and Cathy MacDonald to Director of Finance.

In this new capacity, Squires will be responsible for overseeing the management, development, and implementation of Business Intelligence initiatives. Her primary role is to promote data-driven decision-making by providing accurate and actionable insights to key stakeholders.

Since joining MetOcean in February 2013, Squires has advanced from a Sales Operations Manager and Business Analyst to the Manager of Business Intelligence.

Notably, she successfully navigated the company through a demanding 2023, demonstrating exceptional leadership skills while overseeing MetOcean’s Accounting team.
