Chief Commercial officer
For Co-Founder Andre Fontova, the leap from project management to corrosion protection just made sense. Andre’s experience overseeing projects both in commercial contracting and oilfield equipment prepared him for this role and equipped him with a knowledge of both sides of the industry. As Vice President of Commercialization, Andre takes pride in establishing relationships with his customers and being a part of the process from the initial quote until its operating in the field.
After graduating from LSU with a B.S. in Construction Management, Andre started his career with Tellepsen Builders in Houston, TX. He then applied his skill set in commercial contracting to the oilfield industry by managing the construction of district facilities around the country for Green Field Energy Services. During this time, he also successfully transferred those skills to equipment fabrication with the same focus of staying in budget and on schedule.
