Career started as a research engineer at Plibrico, moving on to technical marketing manager for the aluminum industry. While staying in the refractory space I became territory sales manager for HWI. In 2001 I moved to Houston for a role as construction project manager at J T Thorpe for domestic and international projects. Operations and sales management followed, with roles at Proplant, an international EPC firm and Chevron Philips Chemical. I returned to Thorpe Specialty Services as COO, heavily involved with acquisitions and a return to Plibrico as VP GM Construction. Prior to Christy I was Sales Director North America for RHI’s process industry division.
The dual role at Christy, for both our Refractories and Industrial Services Divisions, is an exciting opportunity for me to utilize past experiences in refractory production, sales and construction. The employee culture and diverse business units are a real pleasure to work within.
