Duperon Corporation has announced the promotion of Jerry Schlicker from controls engineer to engineering manager. In his new role, Schlicker is accountable for the design, development, onboarding and implementation of all Duperon products. Duperon product owners and detail manager report to Schlicker and the team is responsible for managing and maintaining all process, quality, document controls, systems, data, applications rules, drawings and all product-related materials that maintain the integrity of each Duperon product throughout its lifecycle. Duperon President Mark Turpin will continue to supervise the Duperon R&D team of Ken Blanchard and Bryce Funchion.
“We saw in Jerry an ability to lead others,” Turpin commented on Schlicker’s promotion. “Leadership at its core is about influencing others to do something that they wouldn’t do otherwise, something that causes a positive outcome. As controls engineer, Jerry was instrumental in the success of important changes within the controls group, and the team he’s now leading watched him step up to help create a smooth transition. The team respects him for that, and it made perfect sense for Jerry to move into this role. He brings maturity, stability, process, and accountability to the team and his style leads others to success.”
