HEMET, Calif. (Oct. 28, 2014)—McCrometer has announced the promotion of Melissa Aquino to the role of president. Aquino’s appointment is part of an executive transition that includes prior president, Kerry McCall, moving into the role of chief flow technology executive.
Kerry McCall served as president of McCrometer for 28 years, growing the business more than tenfold during that time. This growth was driven by combining new flow technology innovations with a powerful and unique McCrometer culture. McCall was able to create a team and culture with highly engaged employees and target key opportunities for growth. In his new role, McCall will be responsible for the continued expansion of McCrometer’s flow technology capabilities and evaluating new business opportunities.
“It has been a privilege to lead McCrometer and take our growth and profitability to new levels,” McCall said. “I’m happy to take on this new position and transition the role of president to Melissa. She is well-suited to carry on both the McCrometer culture and growth trajectory.”
Aquino brings more than 14 years of experience with Danaher, seven of which are with McCrometer. She most recently served as vice president, marketing and human resources director. Additionally, she served as general manager for McCrometer CONNECT. Before coming to McCrometer, Aquino was business unit director and product manager for Hach Lange in the U.S. and Germany. Prior to joining Danaher, Aquino held research and development process engineering and market research roles at Procter & Gamble. She has a B.S. in chemical engineering from the Colorado School of Mines and an M.B.A. from the University of Colorado, Denver.
“It’s an exciting time to lead McCrometer as president,” Aquino said. “Working for Kerry and McCrometer has been an honor, and I am fortunate to have him remain on the team. McCrometer’s history and growth has always been based on a deep understanding of customer needs and continued innovation. With our talented team and a continued focus on these core areas, I am very optimistic about our future.”
