Over the past three years, he has consistently demonstrated exceptional leadership and performance as part of CRP’s Product Innovation team. Alex began his automotive career as an Acura Master Certified Technician. His hands-on experience and product management skills position him well to drive continued growth for the Pentosin brand.
Mike Palm, CRP’s Vice President of Sales and Marketing, expressed confidence in the new team during his announcement: “The new appointments of Christian and Alex will continue to strengthen our Pentosin product management team and reflect our ongoing commitment to the brand’s growth.
