Industry Veteran to Lead European Sensing Teams
“I am very happy to welcome Thomas to the Luna team,” said Graeff. “To fully integrate our European locations and drive efficiencies that lead to profitable growth, we needed to appoint a new managing director with a proven track record. Thomas has broad experience and a deep history of leading innovation in fiber optic sensing technology, and he has been incredibly successful in technical environments. He will be a great addition to both Luna and our customers.”
Oldemeyer comes to Luna with more than 30 years of experience in the industry, including nearly 12 years as the CEO of LIOS Technology before transitioning to its parent company, NKT Photonics Technology (NKT).
