Heading up the Americas region on the Executive Board as COO Americas is Elena Skvortsova, who most recently served on the Executive Board of OMV AG in Vienna after holding senior positions at Baxter International, Linde AG – where she stood as President Middle East & Eastern Europe – before taking over responsibility for Praxair’s Canadian business until 2020.
Commenting on Skvortsova’s appointment, Bernd Eulitz, CEO of Messer, said, “Her laser focus on customers, talent development and operation rigour are exactly what Messer needs as the company enters the next chapter of its 125-year corporate history as a global force.”
