Simone Forti – Global Head Service & After Sales Equipment
“I joined Oerlikon as a Sales Engineer because I was inspired by the technology. I was responsible for upgrading installed equipment at our various customers and after a short while, my career at Oerlikon developed into a Team Leader role.
When I returned from maternity leave, I supported the Sales Team in Product Marketing for several years, until I was asked to “return home” to lead Service & After Sales 😊
The feedback from our customers that we deliver the benchmark in Service & After Sales, and having a motivated team which strives for continuous improvement is what I live for.”
