Reflecting back on the first 90 days with #Rheem:
To say it has been exciting would be an understatement. From joining the organization with a sole focus of supporting US Water operations to quickly pivoting to lead the North American integration of the Rheem Production System for both Air and Water it has been a roller coaster with certainly more highs than lows!
There are three main areas that really stand out as key differentiators from other organizations.
1. #Respect for People - The Rheem team truly embodies this core value. Many companies will profess that they respect their people but their actions are simply incongruous with their words. The way that Rheem reflects this is showcased from the customer first mindset to the way they treat their employees. To speak on specifics, my team has been exceptionally welcoming. From onboarding swag to time spent sharing lessons learned and everything in between - Brian Gee is a remarkable individual who certainly deserves a special shout out (as truly the best counterpart I could ask for.) Thanks to Rufo I. Sanchez for the support as we shake things up and make significant changes.
Thanks to Enrique Noche, MBA, MSc, Robert Petersen, and Alex Housten for leading the charge!
2. Willingness to #Adapt - As the world continues to change and adapt our businesses must meet or exceed that rate of change in order to avoid becoming obsolete. From process changes, role changes, technology, and equipment changes Rheem works at just the right speed to minimize risk but move quickly enough to embrace changes. The teams have been through many changes and their resilience and adaptability certainly stands out.
3. #Exceptionalism in all that we do - Rheem embodies this philosophy. From the products we design to the beauty of the facilities and Integrated Learning Centers this value is exemplified. We certainly don't let perfect get in the way of good, but we refuse to settle at good.
Special thanks to all of the operations leaders for the remarkable work they are doing to lead the charge day in and day out. Thank you for opening your facilities and the chance to partner together and forge a lasting legacy.

Rheem and it's people are truly exceptional and one of a kind. Grateful for the opportunity to serve them and excited for what we will build together!
