OMAX Corporation recently welcomed Stephen Bruner to its senior management team as Vice President of Marketing. "Bruner joins OMAX with nearly 20 years of B2B and vertical market experience executing highly successful integrated product marketing strategies that drive business growth," said a company spokesperson.
Bruner has oversight of the company's marketing, technical training and inside sales teams and will work closely with staff on program planning, brand development and lead generation and nurturing. "He will also apply his strong analytical skills and process management expertise to implement new integrated product marketing techniques that further enhance the sales and support of the company's abrasive waterjet solutions, which include OMAX and MAXIEM JetMachining Centers," said the spokesperson.

Other titles he has held during his career include Vice President of Technical Marketing and Communications for iONexus and Marketing Director for NuSil Technology.
According to Dr. John Cheung, CEO and Co-Founder of OMAX Corporation, Bruner joins the company at an exciting time.

We are confident in Stephen's ability to strengthen our brand position in the marketplace and effectively communicate how our abrasive waterjet technology provides the industry's highest levels of speed and performance."
Bruner noted he is equally excited about this opportunity. "I look forward to applying my skills and experience to further promote OMAX Corporation's leadership status in abrasive waterjet technology as well as introduce its total customer care philosophy to manufacturers in search of a productive, cost-effective solution for growing their business in today's competitive landscape."
Bruner has a bachelor's degree from the University of Colorado Boulder and master's degree in business administration from the Graziadio School of Business and Management at Pepperdine University.
