After 23 years of dedicated service, we announce the retirement of our President, Marie Jorissen. Marie’s leadership has been instrumental in shaping AVEKA into the innovative, customer-focused company it is today.
Marie began her journey with AVEKA over two decades ago. Throughout her long career, she exemplified commitment, resilience, and vision. Rising through the ranks to become President, she led with integrity and a deep passion for both people and progress. Her legacy includes expanding our capabilities, nurturing a strong culture of employee ownership, and building lasting partnerships with customers and communities alike.
As Marie steps into retirement, we extend our heartfelt thanks for her years of service, mentorship, and leadership. Her impact will be felt for years to come.
