Ellis & Watts Global Industries, Inc. announced it has hired two new senior leaders to accommodate growing global demand for its products and services. Larry Anderson has joined the company as Global Account Manager, and Steve Richardson has joined to assume a newly created position, Aftermarket Leader. Both gentlemen bring decades of experience and expansive knowledge of Ellis & Watts’ customer sectors.

Mr. Anderson will primarily work with Ellis & Watts’ Military and Aerospace customers to promote the company’s capabilities, match the customers’ needs with Ellis & Watts’ differentiated solutions, manage customer inquiries (from budgets & layouts through quote & purchase orders), and provide support throughout production. Mr. Anderson brings nearly 30 years of business experience, most recently with the Testing, Inspection, and Certification company Bureau Veritas, and before that with Cobham plc, (LON: COB) where he focused on civilian and military aircraft safety systems. He also held sales and finance leadership roles at GE Aviation (NYSE: GE), Pratt & Whitney, and Raytheon Aircraft (NYSE: RTN).

Mr. Richardson joins Ellis & Watts in the newly-created position of Aftermarket Leader, where he will lead the company’s parts and service teams, focusing on expanding post-sale customer support around the globe. Mr. Richardson brings 30+ years of experience leading efforts to grow aftermarket businesses in the aerospace, automotive, pulp and paper, and packaging sectors. Most recently, he served as general manager for marketing and sales for the Nidec Minster Corporation’s services division.

Both Anderson and Richardson will report to Nelson Wesley, Ellis & Watts Vice President of Sales & Marketing.

“We’re very excited to welcome Larry and Steve to our team, where each of them brings deep experience and rare strategic skills that will enable us to better execute our key strategic priorities,” said Wesley. “In addition, when you consider the backgrounds of these two leaders, it’s clear evidence of the level of talent and pedigree Ellis & Watts is able to draw in this competitive market.”
