With over a decade of experience in leadership roles across the building materials industry, I bring a commitment to commercial & operational excellence and a passion for advancing workplace safety. As Managing Director US at BOPLAN USA, I focus on delivering innovative industrial safety solutions that protect people and infrastructure. My mission aligns with BOPLAN's values of sustainability and resilience, and I aim to foster a culture of collaboration and continuous improvement to empower our teams and enhance client satisfaction. At BOPLAN USA, I oversee strategic initiatives, P&L management, sales and operations. Previously, as General Manager at Bekaert, I contributed to strategy execution and business development across North and South America, leading teams to drive growth through organic and M&A opportunities. My diverse experience in sales, marketing, and compliance underscores my ability to lead high-performing organizations toward impactful results.
BOPLAN® manufactures high-performance industrial safety products for the protection of people, buildings and infrastructure. Our products flex upon accidental impacts from forklift trucks and immediately return into their original shape without the damage typically associated with traditional guardrail products. Our customer base includes the majority of the world's largest brands and most demanding facilities.
