His leadership will be instrumental in aligning the company's sales, marketing, and product strategies to meet the growing demand for efficient, cost-effective trenchless infrastructure solutions. "I look forward to the challenges and opportunities ahead as I step into this role at a key moment for Vortex," said Dannenberg. "Our commitment to growth and customer success has never been stronger. I look forward to working closely with our teams to expand our reach across the industry."
Before joining Vortex, Dannenberg held key roles with several leading sewer technology companies, including Regional Sales Manager, Lead Field Engineer and Equipment Training Manager.
