Velo3D Hires New VP of Operations

Velo3D, Inc. has appointed Brad Kreger as Executive Vice President of Operations to support the company's goals in production growth, quality standards and cost reduction.

Kreger brings decades of experience overseeing and rapidly scaling operations in hardware production, including tenures at Thermo Fisher Scientific and its subsidiary Affymetrix and Fluidigm Corporation. He will have oversight of Velo3D's various manufacturing facilities and their corresponding teams, reporting to Velo3D CEO and founder Benny Buller.

Kreger's career has centered around early-stage companies that are scaling the manufacturing of hardware while also making improvements in quality and cost. In his former role as senior vice president of global operations at Fluidigm, he led strategic initiatives to increase production of its mass-cytometry technology and improve the customer experience through operational efficiencies, enhanced infrastructure and streamlined execution.

"Running global operations at a company that is scaling as fast as Velo3D is an incredible challenge, but Brad is well suited to help us reach the next level given his extensive background working with growing companies that provide highly sophisticated hardware," said Buller. "I look forward to seeing Brad optimize our operations to accelerate the production of our Sapphire and Sapphire XC printers, increase our manufacturing capabilities and reach our production goals for 2023 and beyond." 

In his new role overseeing production, Kreger will lead all operations activities at Velo3D, including global logistics, manufacturing, quality and procurement. Kreger will also be responsible for managing partnerships with key suppliers while automating planning and procurement processes.
