Essentium Expands Leadership Team, Doubles Headcount

Essentium, Inc., a provider of materials as well as additive manufacturing (AM) machines, has announced a series of executive promotions, new appointments and more than doubling of year-on-year headcount to 100-plus associates.

Promotions and appointments include Erik Gjovik, promoted to chief supply chain officer; Blake Mosher, appointed as chief commercial officer; Elisa Teipel, promoted to chief development officer; Terry MacNeish, promoted to executive vice president of R&D and machines; and Brandon Sweeney, promoted to executive vice president of R&D and materials.

Notable new hires with extensive industry experience include Constantin Donea as global product director; Cecilia Eklund as senior global product marketing manager; and Jay Light as senior vice president of sales for the Americas.

"With these appointments and promotions, we leverage existing talent while bringing additional key leadership and global operational experience needed to support our customers to fuel their next stage of growth,” explains Blake Teipel, Ph.D., CEO of Essentium. “Growing appetite and adoption across multiple sectors are proof that industrial-scale AM is ready for prime time. We are confident in furthering our vision to reshape the world of manufacturing into a leaner, more agile future enabled by AM."
