10 Pump Professionals to Watch 2020
Meet 10 individuals who were chosen as up-and-comers to keep your eye on.

It has been a tough year, stemming mostly from the COVID-19 pandemic removing much of the norm from our workplaces and personal lives. So, this year especially, the December issue has become one of our favorites, as we get to celebrate 10 up-and-coming pump professionals. This is one way to help show off the dynamic personalities that work in this industry. We hold them up as an example for the next generation, by honoring the accomplishments and drive of current outstanding employees.

Here you will meet 10 individuals who were nominated by someone at their company as an up-and-comer to keep your eye on. These 10 people range from directors of inside sales to foremen and process engineers. Their experience ranges from 18 years to just three. They come from different parts of the world and represent great diversity in the industry. They are excited about ushering in sustainability goals, technological advancements and finding meaning in a career where their knowledge is needed in every sector of the industry.

Nominations were collected from readers for the 10 Pump Professionals to Watch starting in June. Applications were reviewed by magazine editors as well as members of our Editorial Advisory Board. These professionals—all under 40 years of age—were chosen for the roles they serve in, the education they’ve completed, the boards and associations they belong to, and the effort they put in as they seek to contribute to their companies and communities. We are honored to congratulate Pumps & Systems’ second group of 10 Pump Professionals to Watch. Pay attention—they’re just getting started.
