Naughton spent 10 years in the Asia Pacific region leading sales and marketing for Trimble Inc construction businesses bringing automated technology products and processes to both advanced and emerging markets. He then moved to the US to Trimble’s headquarters where he headed up a construction machine technology division and established an autonomous machine control business leading development and partnerships for the future vision of construction. Naughton is a Mechanical Engineering graduate from the University of Limerick, Ireland, and has an MBA from Torrens University in Australia. He has had a strong focus on how emerging technology can be used to improve people’s work lives and create value for industry. As GoContractor continues to grow in Europe and US, Naughton’s focus is on sharing best practices and partnerships across the Atlantic. “Because we’re working with the best of the best in both regions, and we have really strong relationships with all of our customers, we’re in a unique position of being able to add value in terms of what works well when it comes to the adoption of new technology into a fairly traditional market.”
