Heidelberg Engineering Announces Leadership Changes

Heidelberg Engineering announced changes to the leadership team.

Ali Tafreshi who has served in sales, marketing and research capacities in both the United States and German organizations for 6 years, will head up Product Management and Clinical Affairs.

After establishing the UK subsidiary 7 years ago, Krysten Williams will move to the headquarters and support the Marketing and Education efforts. Ali Tafreshi and Krysten Williams will join Dr. Tilman Otto (R&D), Claus Gärtner (Finance, IT and Operations), Kfir Azoulay (Business Development and Healthcare IT), Erich Bangert (Sales and Customer Service) and Andrea Ritter (Human Resources) to form the new leadership team.

“In this leadership team we have so many talented people who have worked with the founders of the company for many years and others who have joined the company because of our ethos of uncompromising integrity,” Arianna Schoess, Managing Director of Heidelberg Engineering, said in a company news release. “This is the next generation that will carry on the tradition of exploring avenues that combine the company’s core technologies to create innovative, clinically relevant imaging solutions that empower clinicians to improve patient care.”

The company has parted ways with Managing Director, Dr. Kester Nahen, and thanks him for his important contribution to the success of the company over more than a decade.

Arianna and Christoph Schoess will continue to jointly lead the company as Managing Directors in a manner that will support the newly-formed leadership team in Germany to focus on key areas of the business and draw on individual strengths.
