Strengthening Execution in the Field

“Fiona’s appointment represents a disciplined step forward for Lantern,” said Hélène Coulombe, VP Sales & Marketing of Pilot & Co – Lantern. “Her experience commercializing industrial technology and her deep understanding of field realities will help us sharpen our execution and better serve both drilling contractors and resource operators.”

With more than 25 years of experience across oil & gas and mining, Fiona Pinnell has led commercial growth and technology adoption initiatives in complex industrial environments.

A Field-First Approach to Growth

“In our industry, software only has value if it actually works in the field,” said Fiona Pinnell, Chief Growth Officer at Lantern. “If crews don’t trust it at the end of a shift, it won’t drive lasting performance. Our priority is simple: make the platform lighter, more reliable, and genuinely useful in day-to-day operations.”

Lantern’s focus moving forward includes:

Reducing administrative workload in field operations
Improving shift-level data accuracy
Accelerating the transition from field data to invoicing
Strengthening cost visibility for operators and contractors

Lantern will be exhibiting at PDAC 2026 — Booth #6502N (North Building).

The team looks forward to meeting drilling contractors, resource operators, and industry partners to discuss operational adoption and practical performance improvement in the field.
