Dan Piette to Lead Bluware on Mission to Accelerate E&P Digital Transformation

HOUSTON, July 19, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Bluware Corp is pleased to announce the addition of Daniel J. Piette as CEO following the recent merger with technology innovators Hue AS and Headwave Inc. A well-respected and recognized energy executive, Dan joins the Bluware management team to provide strategic leadership in the growth of Headwave as the premier software platform for E&P digital transformation.

"Dan is well-known for his track record in delivering new technology to the energy industry, having served as a key executive in several start-ups and growth initiatives," said Diderich Buch, Bluware Chief Strategy Officer. Bluware founder Rick Jones added, "I know the team is excited to have Dan on board—they trust his ability to drive this next phase of the company's growth."

Commenting on his new endeavor, Piette said, "Having spent nearly four years on the Headwave board, I have first-hand insight into how this technology can drive digital transformation. This is truly modern computing for today's oil and gas industry and we are here at exactly the right time. Headwave will upend many of the long-time entrenched commercial offerings because they simply cannot do what we can do."

Most recently, Piette served on the Board of Directors of Petroleum Geo-Services (PGS), a Norwegian-headquartered company with a presence in 25 countries. He also held a board position for Headwave prior to the Bluware merger, and he serves on the Board of Visitors of the Geological Engineering Program at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

In previous roles, Piette led Object Reservoir as President and CEO until the acquisition of its software division by Halliburton and its services division by Weatherford. Prior to that, he was President and CEO of OpenSpirit Corporation, a provider of upstream integration, which grew under his leadership and culminated in an acquisition by TIBCO Software Inc.
