Seeq, global provider of industrial analytics, artificial intelligence (AI) and enterprise monitoring for industrial companies, has appointed Anton Chilton to its board of directors.
Chilton brings more than three decades of global technology leadership to Seeq, most recently serving as CEO of QAD, a software-as-a-service (SaaS) provider of enterprise resource planning (ERP) and supply chain systems for global manufacturing companies. Over a multi-decade tenure at QAD, Chilton held leadership roles across sales, marketing and professional services. Under his leadership, QAD accelerated its transition to SaaS, expanded through strategic acquisitions and was taken private in a transaction with Thoma Bravo in 2021.
“We are pleased to welcome Anton Chilton to our board,” said Pete Higgins, chairman of the Seeq board of directors. “Anton’s expertise in SaaS for manufacturing, global supply chain and enterprise operations, along with his proven track record of leadership, brings valuable perspective to Seeq at a pivotal stage of our growth. We look forward to Anton’s contributions as we accelerate innovation and deepen value for our customers.”
Following an early career in the Royal Navy Submarine Service, Chilton began his technology career with British Steel and later held senior executive roles with system integrators across the United Kingdom, South Africa and Hong Kong.
"I am pleased to join Seeq’s board of directors,” said Chilton. “As an enterprise technology leader, I see a significant opportunity for Seeq to continue driving innovation and accelerating digital transformation for manufacturers around the world. I look forward to supporting Seeq’s leadership team as they continue to execute their strategy and create measurable value for customers and stakeholders.”
Chilton will replace previous Board Director Ashley Kramer, who resigned in July 2025. Following the appointment of Chilton, the board will be composed of seven directors and four observers with diverse backgrounds in corporate strategy, enterprise software, technology development and engineering.
“On behalf of the board, I would like to extend our sincere gratitude to Ashley Kramer for her dedicated service as a valued board member,” added Higgins. “We wish her all the best in her future endeavors.”
