Dan Cathie is the Co-Founder and CEO at Silveray. Dan was previously CEO of vivaMOS Ltd, a spin-out from the Science & Technology Facilities Council (STFC), where the company commercialised large-area high-performance X-ray detectors for industrial inspection applications, eventually being acquired by Nordson Corporation. He is a semiconductor design engineer by background, with an MEng from Southampton University. Having started his career at Philips Semiconductors as an Integrated Circuit (IC) Designer, his aptitude for team building and leading other engineers was rewarded with a company-sponsored MBA.

On return to the UK, he moved into a business development activity, extending the company’s automotive product range by launching an innovative smart power technology. Dan joined Silveray in January 2022 and will bring leadership, X-ray knowledge, and a keen awareness of the wider detector market to the project.
