Helix Geospace has announced the appointment of Paul Cooper as Director of Operations. In this role, Paul will ensure that we achieve a smooth transition into our new premises at the Abingdon Science Park and lead the company’s operations team, including quality, new product introduction and supply chain management with a focus to scale up manufacturing to meet Helix’s commercial needs.
Helix's patented technology encompasses the innovative use of ceramics and our proprietary AI-driven manufacturing system. This presents unique benefits, ultimately delivering higher performance at a price point that broadens the market. With industrial designers pushing form factors in a similar way to what was seen within the mobile phones industry, these advantages are increasingly recognised as we enable RF designers to meet the challenging requirements imposed by physical designs through the supply of SWaP-C (Size, Weight, Power, and Cost) antennas. SWaP-C provides a framework for evaluating and optimising the performance, efficiency, and affordability of systems and components, considering their physical size, weight, power consumption, and cost.
Paul brings 10 years of experience in leading and managing large organisations delivering complex projects and programs. Demonstrating expertise in strategic planning, cross-functional team leadership, and stakeholder management. Over his 30-year career he has accumulated extensive experience in optimising manufacturing, implementing technical automation, procurement, supply chain management, and customer service. Prior to joining Helix Geospace, Paul ventured into RF technology with Motorola Solutions and, more recently, held various leadership positions at Nokia for over 9 years.
Oliver Leisten, CTO at Helix Geospace, expressed his enthusiasm, stating,“I am delighted that Paul has accepted the Director of Operations role and embraces the challenge of leading Helix Geospace’s manufacturing facility through the upcoming phase of rapid growth. Paul brings extensive experience in improving performance and implementing high-tech manufacturing automation. These attributes align perfectly with the company’s needs to streamline manufacturing and supply chains, collaborating with international suppliers, channel partners, and customers. Paul possesses the capability to optimise our new manufacturing process and further enhance our proprietary AI-driven manufacturing system.”
"I am very excited to be joining Helix Geospace as part of its leadership team," said Paul Cooper in response to his appointment. "I believe our operations, quality, and supply chain capability must be a strategic asset for the company, and I am driven by the desire to exceed our customers' expectations and support the commercial growth of the company."
