          into the business model. This aligned well
        
        
          with Barroeta’s expertise in international
        
        
          business development.
        
        
          With offices now in Moncton, Houston and
        
        
          Malaysia, the company employs about 100
        
        
          people and has worked with recognized in-
        
        
          dustry giants from Chevron to NASA.

          and ultra-deep waters. A few years ago,
        
        
          the company further expanded its special-
        
        
          izations, realizing that working exclusively
