Gerhard was by far one of the most dynamic leaders in Operations that I have worked with during my tenure at Flowserve. His Professionalism and drive to address the issue and drive improvements was noteworthy of praise. During his tenure he also received the President's Cup for outstanding success for Etten-Leur in the Nederlands, one of the largest and most complex pump product lines in Flowserve. While working on Customer and Quality related issues Gerhard was always supportive and professional. This was more evident during a recent meeting with ExxonMobile Gerhards leadership provided guideance and support to reduce current and ongoing customer quality issues that if left unattended would have resulted in heavy revenue losses as a result of Customer Liquidated Damanges and probable loss of future business from ExxonMobile. Overall, I enjoyed working with Gerhard and his staff.
