Innovation is our DNA – we live it every day. Our geophysics teams collaborate to apply their expert curiosity and passion for excellence in ways that provide a competitive advantage to our customer’s natural resource projects.” said Claudio.
Rudy Secundino, RTS Chief Financial Officer, accepted the award on behalf of RTS CEO Dr Strobbia at the award ceremony as Claudio was away on business commitments in Australia.

“Being agile, innovative and passionately pushing our limits are core values we actively live by. Our challenge is to maintain these fundamental values as RTS grows – we aim to increase our workforce to 50 by the end of 2025.
We’re proud to be creating these jobs in the Greater Pau area, including taking delivery of new 600 m² offices in March 2025. Our change of scale has begun!” explained Rudy.
