About
Sensonic

Hi, I’m Marina. I’m a Customer Success Engineer at Sensonic in Madrid, Spain. After studying engineering in Madrid and Southampton, I’m putting the theory knowledge gained into practice. I have worked in multiple roles in the Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) field for around 10 years with Luna OptaSense before joining Sensonic in early 2013.
As part of the Customer Success team, my role is varied and my responsibilities include, getting the product to an operational state including its maintenance and ensuring the system is both reliable and available for easy customer adoption. In such a rapidly evolving field I help link our delivery, engineering, and R&D teams to both support continuous improvement and efficiently deploy our systems.
I am multilingual with 5 languages so far and perhaps not a surprise, one of my main personal interests is travelling. I’ve been to over 30 countries so far and love meeting different people and cultures. l also like reading, cycling, hiking, vias ferratas (rock climbing), yoga, pole dancing, and skiing in winter.

Hi I’m Dan. Although just 18 months into my Sensonic journey, I’ve spent 18 years in and around the rail industry. I’m the Marketing Lead at Sensonic responsible for content and strategy, which means pretty much everything you’ve read on our website, in the press, on a brochure or advert I’ve written or played a part in creating. I’m a materials engineer by training who has earned both chartership and fellowship qualifications. I morphed from engineer to marketer when took a 6-month marketing secondment to broaden my knowledge and experience over 10 years ago. I’ve spent the time since marketing railway products and services to a global railway audience.
My job at Sensonic is to show the benefits and value our fantastic team deliver through their railway solutions in an engaging and relatable way. As our offering is innovative and new to the rail sector, part of my role is to educate people about what the technology can offer, as well as to stimulate their interest where it can solve some of their railway challenges.
Outside of work my hobbies include classic cars, DIY and an occasional bit of cycling when I’m not being a dad taxi for my kids.

Hi, I’m Holly. I’m the group financial controller at Sensonic. I’m a qualified and experienced accountant and part of my role is to manage our businesses financial reporting, budgeting, and forecasting.

Away from the office I enjoy spending time with family and friends when I’m not enjoying my favourite hobby – Horses!

Linkedin Profile

I’m Florian, a geophysicist and seismologist. I am an expert in ground vibrations and signal processing and I’m the product owner for our Natural Hazards applications (detecting rockfalls, landslides, etc.). At Sensonic I was given full freedom to develop our current Natural Hazards solution. I went through the entire end-to-end process of developing it and turning it into a working, reliable, saleable, and valuable product. I’ve really enjoyed the product development journey a lot and I’m proud we can offer a solid rockfall detection solution to railways to improve safety.
My day-to-day tasks include a variety of things from hands-on coding of core algorithms, organising work packages for teams, to ensure smooth deployment, and optimisation and operation of our solutions around the world. I even get involved in field work to test and demonstrate the capability for new clients too. Most recently I have been learning quite a bit about Artificial Intelligence to help develop our products even further.
Working at Sensonic is simply a perfect match for me! It's a great combination of applying the geophysics skills I learned to a disruptive technology that serves the greater purpose of clean transportation. As an extra plus, I have always been a secret train enthusiast!
Outside office time, I enjoy electronic dance music (I’m a Trance fan!), and I love to build Lego – although usually not at the same time!

Hi I’m Shawn, as UK Managing Director with a legal background, I bring a unique combination of skills to the table. My legal expertise gives me an upper hand in navigating the complex landscape of business, enabling me to make informed and impactful decisions that drive growth and success. I possess the ability to turn legal jargon into actionable business plans and obstacles into opportunities. And if all else fails, I can always row my way out of a tricky situation (just kidding, I only row for fun and fitness). My experience as a Managing Director in a technology startup has further honed my strategic mindset and leadership skills, and as a bonus, I also have a knack for getting lost in new cities (a byproduct of my love for travel). Oh, and as a proud South African, I've traded in my Braai skills for a love of Fish and Chips, having fully adopted the UK as my new home.
