Dave Bull commenced his career while serving as an officer in the British army with service in many of the most extreme global environments and deploying technologies throughout his career as an officer. His entire post-Army career has been within the technology arena and operationally supporting service platforms.

Dave has led organizations—including Panasonic, Nortel Networks, Terremark, GPX Global Systems, Tyco, Disney, and Atos—from start-ups through to Fortune 50 companies. In all his roles, Dave’s managerial and technical strengths have applied to integrating analysis of correct technology selections to providing roadmaps for support and maintenance of the selected infrastructures cost-effectively, all while ensuring quality of customer service through brilliant team management.

“All sectors of the maritime industry are at a leaping off point with respect to how technology can serve fundamental human sustainability,” says Bull. “Seafarers’ wellbeing is paramount in solving global shipping quagmires. For cruise lines, commercial shipping, yachting and remote destinations, operator peace of mind anchored in robust medical operations onboard is paramount during the continuing and, ultimately, post-COVID era. All of us at VIKAND are working to ensure Vikand Direct is well positioned to tackle these issues and to evolve in concert with technology. I relish the opportunity to promote it, to work with VIKAND’s well-rounded team, and to raise Vikand Direct’s profile as a global maritime solution.”
