ChemDAQ created the first commercially available Peracetic Acid (PAA) sensor, designed to protect industry employees from overexposure to harmful chemical vapors and verify compliance with government regulations. Through both fixed and portable units, ChemDAQ partners with hundreds of facilities across the country to provide air monitoring that creates safer workplaces, reduces risk, and ensures next-level protection for their people.

Can you briefly describe your position and responsibilities within the company?

As ChemDAQ’s Executive Vice President, my priority is expanding opportunities to support our customers through strategic partnerships, new product development, and ongoing customer engagement. As a company, our mission is to empower our customers to eliminate exposure to toxic chemicals in their facilities. We have a unique opportunity in this industry to work with our customers to best understand their environment and make data-driven decisions to achieve this goal. Given that our customers are some of the largest contributors to the nation’s food supply, it’s a privilege to be able to support them in this way.
