Drawing on his vast technical background, leadership skills and energy industry expertise, Dr. Reimers will drive Akselos’ innovation and product strategy as the company begins its next phase of growth.

As CPTO, Dr. Reimers will lead the integration of product strategy with technological innovation, overseeing both product management and development, and innovation teams.

Speaking of his appointment, Dr. Reimers said, “From my very first interactions, the unique chemistry of Akselos and the innovative solutions deeply impressed me. I have worked in asset performance management for a long time, and until now, I have never seen a company claim and then successfully deliver real-time structural asset integrity monitoring through digital twin software. I truly believe SPM is the missing puzzle piece in the offshore and petrochemical industry.”
