My core competencies include new product development, research and development, team management, and engineering design. As the Chief Engineer at Enerpac, I oversee a global team of engineers based in several locations, and I am responsible for developing their skills and capabilities to meet business objectives.In my current role, I manage the entire NPD process from concept to production, ensuring that the products meet the highest standards of quality, performance, and safety. I also led the installation of the R&D laboratory, personnel, and systems, and I have been involved in acquisition and mergers. Additionally, I have multiple patents for my innovative designs of mechanical systems, such as bolting systems and mechanical pipeline connectors.
