VANCOUVER, British Columbia--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Ideon Technologies today announced the appointment of Jeremy Fitzgerald, CPA, as Chief Financial Officer (CFO), effective November 2, 2026. In this role, Fitzgerald will lead Ideon’s finance organization and build the enterprise backbone – spanning capital strategy, financial planning and analysis, compliance, legal, enterprise systems, and risk management – as the company enters its next phase of growth.
Jeremy Fitzgerald, Ideon Technologies CFO (as of November 2, 2026).
With more than a decade of finance leadership experience in the technology and Internet of Things (IoT) sectors, Fitzgerald brings broad expertise across capital markets and financing, financial planning and reporting, and large-scale M&A. He has a strong record of leading finance organizations through periods of significant transformation, experience that will support Ideon’s continued growth.
Most recently, Fitzgerald was CFO of Telit Cinterion, a global IoT enabler, where he oversaw a multinational finance function supporting a diverse portfolio of modules, connectivity services, platforms, and custom solutions for mission-critical applications. At Telit Cinterion, he strengthened the company’s balance sheet, played a leading role in the sale of its secureWISE business, and oversaw a cost optimization program that meaningfully improved operating efficiency.
“Jeremy brings a rare combination of strategic judgment, operational rigour, and hands-on execution,” said Gary Agnew, Co-Founder and CEO at Ideon. “As we scale our solutions and expand our impact across global mining markets, we need a finance leader who can build the systems, discipline, and capital strategy to support sustained growth. Jeremy’s experience leading complex transactions, securing financing, and building high-performing finance teams makes him an exceptional fit for Ideon.”
Fitzgerald previously held finance leadership roles at Sierra Wireless (now part of Semtech) and Motorola Solutions, after beginning his career at KPMG. He is a Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA) and holds a Diploma in Accounting from the UBC Sauder School of Business and a Bachelor of Arts from the University of British Columbia.
“I’m excited to join Ideon at such a pivotal moment,” said Fitzgerald. “Ideon has turned breakthrough physics into a field-proven platform that is changing how mining companies see beneath the surface. I look forward to working with the entire team to strengthen the financial foundation, systems, and capital strategy that will support Ideon’s growth and deliver lasting value for customers, investors, and partners.”
Fitzgerald joins Ideon as the company continues to scale its technology platform and expand adoption of its industry-leading subsurface intelligence solutions worldwide. He succeeds Krysta Chapman, who has served as Ideon’s CFO since 2021 and is moving on to pursue new opportunities. During her tenure, Chapman guided the company’s finances through its start-up phase, helping to build the financial foundation that has positioned Ideon for its next stage of growth.
Ideon Technologies uses energy from supernova explosions to see deep beneath the Earth’s surface. Ideon is the global leader in subsurface intelligence, pioneering the development and adoption of cosmic-ray muon tomography for industrial markets. By turning geophysical data into reliable, multi-dimensional subsurface models, Ideon helps geologists identify, map, characterize, and monitor geological features with confidence. This reduces the risk, cost, and time associated with traditional methods—while improving returns and minimizing environmental impact across the mining value chain. Ideon’s work is helping accelerate the world’s shift to low-impact mining and transform how companies find the critical minerals required to power the clean-energy transition—improving lives and strengthening economic prosperity.
