Background

About David Galvez

I am an experienced onsite service then sales engineer visiting industries for nearly 20 years. As service engineer, I know precisely how it is, commissioning process devices in industrial sites and never give up: so often I found myself stuck in a plant with unsatisfactory results and no ideas why, but finally leaving the place with a fully working system and a very happy customer! As sales engineer, I visited hundreds of plants, confronted the final customer needs and decision-making factors with a very good customer acceptance. By doing so I initiated and pushed the Process products line increase into the French market. While managing our distribution channel partners in the whole Latin American region I developped a strong relationship with our partners to strengthen our activity, organization and results with our wide product range. Now as Heavy Industries Applications Manager, I support business development by providing technical expertise, cultivating strong relationships within industrial communities, and delivering crucial feedback to Product Managers. My school career started in Peru (Latin America) and ended in Europe (France mainly), my professional journey started in Asia (China mainly), came back to Europe (Germany and France mainly), continued working for the Americas, and ends now as Application Manager, in connexion with our activities all around the world. My way of working, my belief, is: thinking as a team we reach much better results than working alone. This teamwork can be stimulated anywhere: with our onsite customers, between colleagues, with our team or our channel partners. This requires creating confidence, giving support, be constructive, and it finally makes work much more interesting! I am enthusiastic about technology and fascinated about industrial processes, I love simplifying complex topics, organizing and giving support, sharing knowledge.
