Josh Macklin is the Head of Business Intelligence at Silverstream Technologies
I joined Silverstream in January 2019 as a Project Engineer. Coming in at a time when the business was relatively small meant that I was responsible for all aspects of my first project, including customer requirements, contract review, engineering design, supply chain, installation and commissioning. I was responsible for managing a first-of-type retrofit installation on the Methane Patricia Camila, a Liquified Natural Gas carrier for Shell Shipping, which was delivered in November 2020.
In January 2021, I took on the role of Product Development Lead where I was responsible for managing the company Research & Development programme and overall performance of the technology. Whilst delivering the R&D programme, I identified the need to further develop the tools and processes required for informing on system performance so that we could support a rapidly growing customer base. In January 2022, I was promoted to Head of Product Development and tasked to grow and develop a multi-disciplinary team dedicated to measuring and informing on technology performance using data.
Since October 2022, I have moved to the role of Head of Business Intelligence with a focus on how we utilise data across all functions to help drive decision making and further company growth. It’s been great to have the space to learn and develop at Silverstream. The opportunities have been fantastic, and I am looking ahead to an exciting future as the company grows.
