The resulting synergy positions our entire organization to better serve clients, address challenges and take advantage of future growth opportunities, and I eagerly look forward to the challenge."
A 22-year veteran of the water industry, Bhan joined the Degremont Group 10 years ago, first as Managing Director of Degremont India, and most recently as Managing Director of Degremont UK. He holds a B.S. in Civil Engineering from the University of Kashmir, India, an M.S. (Environmental Engineering) from the University of North Dakota, as well as an MBA from Syracuse University. Bhan will be based in New Jersey.
