Our People

We would like to introduce you to David –  our June employee spotlight.  David has been with MATHESON for 4 years focusing on the Biopharmaceutical industry.  In his role as Biomedical sales and marketing lead he works closely with our sister company, Taiyo Nippon Sanso (TNS) to develop gas and equipment offerings for the biotechnology market, furthering MATHESON’S biotech footprint in the United States.   

David received his undergraduate degree in chemistry and a master’s degree in business.  His interest in healthcare led him into the pharmaceutical industry where he gained experience in new and emerging developments in the biotechnology field.   In David’s role he helps manufacturers that are facing new challenges when developing novel targeted drugs that are used for single-use purposes and not for the masses.  These drugs pose different issues regarding how to manufacture effectively and efficiently in such small quantities.  David is up for the challenge on how to work with companies to achieve those goals.  

If you see results or conditions are not going in the direction you thought, you need to be nimble and pivot quickly.

Currently David is collaborating with TNS on Oxygen¹⁸ and Oxygen¹⁷.  These products are used to trace movements of water through the brain with the use of an MRI.   These products are truly groundbreaking and will bring MRI technology to the next level.

David’s strategic mind and problem solving skills are not only used at work but also when he is trail skiing.  The challenge of navigating yourself down the hill and choosing the best course is what he enjoys most about skiing. “In skiing, my personal life, and my professional career I run them all very similarly; you can’t be afraid to change your plan.   If you see results or conditions are not going in the direction you thought, you need to be nimble and pivot quickly. This has allowed me to evaluate situations and course correct to be successful.”

Thank you for all your hard work!  Do you want to be a part of our team?

Mayank earned his Ph.D. from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and started his own company after graduate school.   He now leverages his entrepreneurial experiences in his current role to create solutions, and challenges himself not only professionally but also personally. Mayank lives his life following a quote by Eleanor Roosevelt, “Do one thing every day that scares you.” 

In his free time, Mayank takes online classes, including language classes, and reads to grow personally and professionally. That same passion is seen in physical activity where he spends his winters snowboarding and taking ice hockey skating lessons.

As we celebrate Welding Month, MATHESON is excited to highlight Stephanie, a skilled welder and former production floor supervisor, who has focused her career on Flux-Cored Arc and Heavy Plate welding. She is an accomplished and talented employee who is inspiring others to consider a new and exciting career within the welding industry. This former beauty queen, salon owner and advertising graduate pivoted her career mid-life to take on new and exciting opportunities within the welding profession. 

Taking a cue from her son who decided at an early age to pursue a career in welding, spurred Stephanie to take steps to learn more about the industry. And from there, a new passion and career began.  Now working for MATHESON in Outside Sales Support, Stephanie’s experience as an accomplished welder directly benefits our customers and suppliers. 

Continuing her education at the Milwaukee Area Technical College in Welding Technology, her knowledge and experience are only continuing to grow. “I’m a very driven person,” Stephanie said. As an emerging leader in the welding industry, she continued, “It’s breaking norms down not by pushing them over, but by having and possessing the knowledge to earn the respect of those around you, as well as seeking those out who can assist and guide you in gaining that knowledge.”

Indeed, with a shortage of welders projected well into the future, this field is uniquely open to anyone willing to learn a new skill or consider a new occupation. Stephanie is also hopeful that future partnerships can be developed within schools across the country to help young people see the exciting possibilities available to them in the field of welding technology.

Passionate about the industry, as well as the future of Robotic Automation, Stephanie mentioned, “There are growth opportunities from welding positions, to set-up, to robotics and automation…Young students need to be exposed to this type of work to see how creative it can be, while being a part of something at the forefront of developing technologies.”

The future is bright for Stephanie and those who consider a career in welding technology and MATHESON is your partner to help it become a reality.

Powerful words from a powerful woman. These words embody March Employee and Women’s Day Spotlight Gurleen. Gurleen has been with MATHESON since 2017 as a project manager focusing on cryogenic system installs in Midwest and Northeastern US Regions. In her role, she is deep in the trenches moving projects from start to completion, or as Gurleen would describe from “cradle to grave”. In this demanding position, she is the maestro keeping capital projects on time, on budget, and on specification all while doing it with a great attitude and humor.

Gurleen embraces challenges and has a passion for neuroscience. She also has an undergraduate degree from Stony Brook University with that discipline. However, her career path moved her in a different direction where she relocated from New York to North Dakota to work as a Laboratory Lead for a leading oil company. She continued pursuing her education in engineering as well as a graduate degree in Business.

Community involvement is at the core of who she is. She volunteered her time as a Mentor for Young Women’s Leadership Academy through the Big Brother/Big Sister. She also works with young children as a volunteer tennis coach and sits on her board as president at her homeowners association.

MATHESON is proud to have this talented employee as part of our team.
