DNV, the independent assurance and risk management provider, has appointed Joshua Clover as Country Manager, Americas – Industrial Services to drive continued expansion across North America as demand rises for quality assurance and inspection services.
Joshua, who will oversee the activities of Industrial Services at DNV in the United States and support the development of the company’s growth ambitions across the wider Americas region, has more than 13 years’ experience with DNV having joined its Energy Systems business unit in 2013.
Most recently, Joshua served as Business Development and Market Segment Growth Leader at DNV, where he focused on driving business growth, strengthening executive client relationships, supporting operational excellence and delivering sustainable financial performance. This experience makes him well positioned to lead the business unit’s growth across the Americas.
In this new role, Joshua, who will be based in Houston, Texas, will focus on supporting further growth in priority sectors for DNV in the region, including LNG and renewables, aligning with the company's strategic expansion across low-carbon inspection and industrial infrastructure.
Commenting on his appointment, Joshua Clover said: "Having spent many years with DNV, it is an honor to transition into this new role within its Industrial Services business unit. Industrial assets are becoming larger and more complex, and demand is rising in the United States for quality assurance and inspection services across energy, infrastructure and complex industrial supply chains.
"As Country Manager, my focus will be on expanding Industrial Services' presence across North America and ensuring our customers are supported with technical assurance across the energy and industrial sectors. DNV has long held a commitment to operational excellence, safety, compliance and delivery quality, and I now look forward to supporting our clients, partners and stakeholders across the region to work through challenges and achieve their business goals."
Joshua's appointment also forms part of DNV's ongoing investment in its Industrial Services business unit, which launched earlier this year. The unit was introduced to reflect growing demand from customers managing increasingly complex energy transition projects, expanding infrastructure investment and more stringent quality and compliance requirements around the world.
As Industrial Services, DNV’s inspection business has evolved into a dedicated global provider of quality assurance and inspection services for energy, infrastructure and complex industrial supply chains. The unit’s experts now support customers in a broader industrial focus, spanning traditional energy, renewables, transitional fuels including LNG, new power transmission, hydrogen, carbon capture, rail and industrial manufacturing.
Mohamed Houari, CEO of Industrial Services at DNV, said: “North America is a strategically important market for Industrial Services at DNV and Joshua is set to play a leading role in our continued growth initiatives as we build on our long-term investment in the region, supporting customers
"I am confident that his leadership, energy and commitment to our values will help us strengthen our presence across the region and enhance operational performance. Our customers need trusted industrial partners that combine technical expertise with global reach and local presence, and Joshua’s experience across the wider DNV business will be indispensable in ensuring continuity for our key customers as we grow.”
