Mike Anderson shines light on ZephIR Lidar

(WK-intern) – Former RES co-founder and Chief Technical Officer to join Lidar-company Board

As part of strategic and significant growth plans within the business, ZephIR Lidar can confirm the appointment of Dr. Mike Anderson to the Board.

Anderson, a co-founder of Renewable Energy Systems (RES), a leading developer, constructor, owner and operator of wind energy projects throughout the world, joins ZephIR Lidar with immediate effect following his 35 year career as Chief Technical Officer.

A significant achievement during this time was to lead the RES Technical Team in the development and design of the then largest wind farm in the world, King Mountain in Texas.

Mike joins the board as ZephIR Lidar capitalises on the significant industry opportunities created by the company and others such as RES over the past 15 years.

“It is a proud moment seeing truly one of the pioneers of wind energy joining the pioneers of Lidar within that same industry” commented ZephIR Lidar MD, Ian Locker. “We have a significant opportunity to capatilise upon something we have created over the past fifteen years. Mike is absolutely the right person to help us to do that – the wealth of experience, the passion and the individual. We send Mike a warm ZephIR welcome!”

On reflection, Mike Anderson replied: “I have admired the professionalism and approach of ZephIR Lidar and it’s a great pleasure to join the Board to help the business to further develop this technology in the wind energy industry.”
