Kris was my manager when I started working for Ingersoll Rand in 2011. We worked together on a daily basis while implementing the S&OP process in the EMEIA region. During that time, he proved to be exceptionally knowledgeable, dedicated and goal oriented professional. He was an amazing leader always focused in both achieving the goals and developing his team. He has remarkable analytic and strategic thinking skills. His good sense of humor makes him a great person to work around. Kris is a proactive and determined contributor who would make a great addition to any team. I would highly recommend him for any position and would love to work for him again in the future.

As a colleague and member of the Manufacturing staff, Kris Santermans proved to be a critical partner to a global team of subject matter experts that changed business processes and created the operational framework for Worldwide Facilities Group that is still performing successfully today. Reporting to Europe’s Vice President of Manufacturing operations, he deployed Business Management all-encompassing, cross functional strategies and initiatives as a liaison overseeing goals and objectives were achieved according to aggressive targets. As a consummate professional, in order to expand his leadership abilities, he aligned to the operational business incorporating Global Manufacturing System principals that helped to transform Europe as a global enterprise. Kris’ leadership skills, business acumen, and passion around any endeavor he undertakes, makes him the best choice candidate, and my first choice as a friend and business partner.
