About

As President of Solventum’s Purification and Filtration business, I oversee a talented global team dedicated to advancing membrane science to enable life-saving treatments and cleaner water. The majority of my career has been focused on technology enterprises including diversified manufacturers and businesses dealing in high-technology applications and customer groups. My experience also includes product development, process engineering, marketing and sales leadership. I took the helm of the global Purification and Filtration business in 2023 after spending three decades creating new business growth, profitability and operational performance across several business sectors and verticals for 3M (Solventum’s former parent company). I now lead the four segments of Solventum’s P&F business: Bioprocessing Filtration, Drinking Water Filtration, Industrial Filtration and Membranes OEM.
