Cerahelix says its addition of William Paulus as chief operating officer will boost the company’s presence in the global market.

“Bill’s business development expertise and operations skill are well suited as our new technology is applied in varied global opportunities in wastewater management and separations,” Cerahelix CEO Susan MacKay said in the release. “His new position will help us meet the large opportunities that await.”

Paulus said, “I am excited to join Cerahelix as it ramps up to meet its global market opportunities and I am thrilled to bring my operations expertise to its management team. With the world’s water needs in a critical state, I look forward to using the skills I have developed to create long-term customer value.”
