Fairfield-Maxwell Ltd. has named Charles (Chuck) Davison Jr. as the chairman of the board of its wholly owned subsidiary, Fairfield Geotechnologies, the company said Aug. 14.

Davison joined FairfieldNodal in June 2015 as president and CEO. During his three years with the company, he has been instrumental in repositioning Fairfield Geotechnologies as a leading provider of marine and land multiclient seismic, ocean bottom node technology and diversified geophysical services.
