A familiar face to many within Synergys diverse client base, Louie has been selling, training, installing and supporting machine control customers since 2007. During recent years he has specialised in machine control sales, which has ultimately culminated in his new role as CTO.
With the rapid evolution of machine control technology – both in terms of the technical capabilities of the software itself, as well as its growing industry adoption within New Zealand – Louie is excited about the opportunities the new role brings.
“In this new role I will continue to design and roll-out machine control systems for heavy equipment used in the construction industry,” he says.
“Topcon is a world renowned positioning company developing ground-breaking, exciting technological advances in this space.
Over the last decade Louie has helped develop and implement many positioning solutions for customers across New Zealand and Australia.
Louie’s background as a qualified surveyor means he appreciates both the challenges that busy infrastructure and civil earthworks companies face in planning and implementing cost-effective ground works, as well as the many resourcing, health and safety, cost and time benefits Topcon 3D GPS machine control technology can help deliver.

Joined Synergy in November 2012 after having worked as a camera technician in the New Zealand film industry for the past 17 years. Over that period I developed a strong knowledge of optics for lenses and cameras.
New to the industry and having completed my Topcon factory training, I bring an enthusiasm and passion and a lot of good humour to my new career.
