Former 3D Systems President and Agilent Technologies Manager Join Aleph Objects, Inc. Executive Team
October 4, 2018
LOVELAND, Colo.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#3Dprinting–Aleph Objects, Inc., makers of award-winning LulzBot®
3D Printers, announced two exciting additions to their executive
team. Grant Flaharty, former President/COO of 3D Systems, will help lead
operations as the new President. Complementing his addition is Hob
Wubbena, former Marketing Manager at Agilent Technologies, who will be
leading marketing efforts in his role as Vice President of Marketing.
Their professional expertise and experience bring a results-driven,
highly-developed skill set to the company.
Grant Flaharty has over 20 years of executive leadership experience with
several global companies, including Motorola, Qualcomm, and
battenfeld-cincinnati. In his tenure at 3D Systems, Flaharty led
European Operations, World Wide Revenue Generation and then became the
President and Chief Operating Officer. 3D Systems Global Revenue
increased 80+% during this time and evolved from predominantly rapid
prototyping to include additive manufacturing with the acquisitions of
companies and technology. Flaharty looks forward to leveraging his wide
range of experience, from Business Development, Operations, and Finance
to grow Aleph Object’s market share.
“When I initially saw the 3D printed objects from their new LulzBot
Mini 2 using their latest high-detail
tool head I was very excited to join the team,” said Flaharty. “For
an FFF machine to directly produce SLA-quality objects with functional
end-use materials like ABS [as opposed to resins] is unprecedented for
both the company and end users.”
Hob Wubbena stepped into the role of Vice President of Marketing with a
diverse background of leadership and marketing experience, including VP
of Universal Logic, a NASA artificial intelligence spin-off; and
planning and marketing roles at Hewlett-Packard and Agilent
Technologies. His leadership in these roles typically led to
double-digit order growth with a quadruple increase in lead generation.
Wubbena commented, “The easy-to-use Lulzbot 3D printers – with their
exceptional reliability, precise resolution, and Free Software and Open
Source Hardware – are a paradigm shift for rapid prototyping and
additive manufacturing.”
With the addition of this new veteran high-tech leadership team, and new
hardware that is pushing the limits of additive manufacturing, Aleph
Objects is poised for the next level of growth in their rapidly growing
market segment.
