The newly-launched global manufacturing advisory firm Advanced Manufacturing International (AMI) has hired Stephan Biller as its CEO with immediate effect. Within his new role working for the subsidiary of the Manufacturing Technology Deployment Group (MTDG), Biller will report directly to Dean Bartles, President of the MTDG.
As CEO of AMI, Biller is set to work closely with Dan Nagy, VP of International Programs, who has transferred to AMI from NCDMM, in order to help identify potential clients for the new company. AMI is still in the process of recruiting its senior leadership team, but once a VP of Smart Manufacturing Programs has been hired, both they and Nagy will report to Biller.
With more than 20 years of experience in analytics, artificial intelligence, and additive manufacturing, Biller has recently been elected to the National Academy of Engineering for his achievements. Biller had served as the Vice President of Product Management at IBM since 2017, and Chief Manufacturing Scientist & Manufacturing Technology Leader at GE prior to that.
“I am honored to join AMI and collaborate with the leadership across the MTDG family of companies,” said Biller. “It is a tremendous opportunity to contribute to not only building AMI into an industry leader in the digital manufacturing sector, but also continuing to innovate for the advanced manufacturing industrial base at large. I look forward to helping our customers to harness the vast potential of digital manufacturing to transform their companies.”
