Precision Drive Systems (PDS), a solution provider of precision motor spindles, expert engineering and support and repair services, announced that Robert Turk has been promoted to the role of President.
"All of us at PDS are pleased to welcome Robert Turk as President," said Allen Turk, founder and CEO. "His extensive experience in sales and marketing and deep familiarity with the company make him the natural choice to lead PDS and its customers into the next generation of spindle industry solutions."
Prior to this promotion, Turk served as the vice president of sales and marketing. In his new role as president, his responsibilities now include sales, marketing, financial, operational and strategic oversight of both PDS U.S. in Bessemer City, NC, and PDS GmbH in Herford, Germany.
Bringing a 30-year multinational career to his new role, Turk's experience ranges from serving large global corporations, including Siemens and Eaton, to the most recent decade leading an independent consultancy for commercialization, merger and acquisition of analytic software, automation technology products, and connected electrical devices across various industrial and medical device industry segments. Fueled by competitive differentiation and new category creation, his career has mindfully migrated from leading large international corporate business units to more recent start-up and mid-tier capitalized ventures, such as Precyse Solutions, nThrive, Cleveland Clinic Innovations, Explorys?IBM Watson, Kings Medical Systems and Aria Health Services.
With education from Bowling Green State University and Case Western Reserve University, he has served on leadership advisory boards and is a contributing author and columnist on product innovation, technology transformation, market commercialization and analytic driven strategy.
