Matthew Watkins Email Address

Executive Vice President, Marketing

thyssenkrupp is a diversified industrial group with traditional strengths in materials and a growing share of capital goods and services businesses.

I have had the good fortune of working for the same organization for over two decades, starting on the front line as a sales representative. Over the course of my career, I have managed a P/L, lead various sales organizations, ran our order management group, and lead marketing and communication efforts for the Americas. For the last two years, I have had the fortunate opportunity to take a step out of the elevator industry to lead our Airport Solutions division for North America. I would like to think that this journey has provided me with wisdom through the experiences of rousing successes and unpleasant failures. The common thread throughout has been the ability to share these experiences with truly exceptional individuals dedicated to making things better than they were before--for our customers, our employees, and for the cities of the future. When I am not at work or busy with the activities of being a husband and father, you won't find me... as I will be off the grid somewhere on some obscure mountain. At least I will always hope to be.
