Xylem South Africa, water and liquid management solutions provider, has appointed Jehiel E Lawrence as its sales director for southern Africa
With 18 years of experience in the chemical distribution sector, Lawrence provided treatment solutions for the water sector. He is set to bring expertise to Xylem’s range of services and solutions for water and wastewater across the water lifecycle.
Speaking about the appointment, he said that the role aims to provide him with the ability to contribute positively to the business and to the wellness of the planet at large.
As Xylem’s sales director for southern Africa, Lawrence is accountable to drive sales within the region.
