Meet our District Energy Manager Market Manager, Natalie Ganesh.
Natalie Ganesh’s passion and drive on a professional and personal level inspires us. Here’s what she had to say about her experience at Armour Valve.
“My career with Armour Valve started out as a temporary contract in the Operations department back in 1999. The camaraderie and family-oriented company culture, led me to transition into a permanent full-time role, where I’ve remained ever since. Over the years, there have been several opportunities to develop my skills and pursue advancement, based on my own interests and company goals, and I have held many positions including Inside Sales Supervisor, Customer Care Manager and most recently was encouraged to launch a new line of business in District Energy as the DE Market Manager.
Our management understands the importance of work/life balance, flexibility, and equal opportunity for growth and development for all employees and there is no shortage of support and mentorship from the men and women in our company. I am very proud to be a woman working successfully in an industry that has been largely dominated by men, and I have never found that being a woman limited my success.”
