Hexagon's Autonomous Solutions division has appointed Dave Goddard as Executive Vice President of its mining segment. Previously serving as Acting President, Mining, Goddard played a critical role in refining Hexagon's data-first strategy to enhance mining operations. His work has focused on operational efficiencies and data unification across workflows to unlock long-term value for mining customers. Hexagon says this approach aims to address industry challenges from the beginning of resource extraction through to project completion.
