GTE appoints Tom Wagner as Chief Technology Officer
Gas Turbine Efficiency plc ('GTE' or 'the Company'), a leading supplier of
advanced high pressure gas turbine cleaning systems, announces the appointment
of Thomas A Wagner as the Company's Chief Technology Officer (CTO).
Mr. Wagner, 55, brings more than 30 years' track record in technology leadership
and management in the energy industry. During his career at General Electric
(GE), Mr. Wagner held a variety of specific gas turbine related technology roles
including Manager of Combustion Engineering, Manager of Field Service
Engineering, and Manager of Non-Destructive Testing for the GE fleet of Gas
Turbines. In recent years, he broadened his technology leadership base with
positions of General Manager of Technology for GE's Wind Energy business and
General Manager of Technology for GE Generators.
In the short term, Mr. Wagner will complement the proven GTE product portfolio
with a strong working knowledge of industrial turbine fleets and end user needs;
a broad 'systems' approach to technology solutions; and the application of cost
effective technology in the services and aftermarket segment. Longer term, he
will also play a crucial part in developing a more comprehensive range of GTE's
customer solutions.
Steve Zwolinski, CEO of GTE, said; 'We are excited that someone of Tom's calibre
is joining the GTE team. He brings a unique combination of leadership skills,
specific technology depth and a proven track record to the Company. His
appointment is of similar significance for our industrial gas turbine business
as the recent extension of GTE's cornerstone contract with Pratt & Whitney is
for the aviation sector. Industrial turbine systems are highly sensitive and
complex and Tom's vast technical and management experience will be of enormous
value to GTE as we enter the next phase of our growth.'
