AER welcomes Andrew Parlier as Director of Operations, bringing expertise in engineering, sustainability, and innovation to advance operational excellence.

LIVERMORE, CA, UNITED STATES, October 8, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- AER Worldwide is excited to announce that Andrew Parlier has joined the company as the new Director of Operations. Andrew comes from a strong engineering, science, and technology background with experience in consumer electronics, IT infrastructure, and climate research. Andrew shares AER’s commitment to responsible stewardship of humanity and the planet through excellence in sustainability and the circular economy.

Engineering vision in operations

Andrew earned both a Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Mechanical Engineering from Stanford University with a focus on embedded systems design, development, and manufacturing. Most recently, he led hardware development teams at Scripps Institution of Oceanography (where he also earned a Master’s in Applied Ocean Science) and software development teams at Pastel, a startup he co-founded to build AI tools for educators.

Andrew’s approach to operations focuses on increasing efficiency through serving people. “Everyone deserves to have the tools and processes to make their jobs easy, meaningful, and efficient,” he said. “There is always room for improvement, and finding solutions that both augment the work experience and increase operational efficiency often requires a combination of technology, creativity, and collaboration with folks from the warehouse floor to the President’s office.” He believes that operations today must be built with an eye on the future, ensuring that environmental responsibility and operational excellence go hand-in-hand as technology continues to advance.

This philosophy aligns with AER’s Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) goals, which emphasize sustainable resource management, reducing electronic waste, fostering a diverse and inclusive work environment, and maintaining the highest ethical standards in operations. Andrew’s commitment to both innovation and environmental responsibility strengthens AER’s mission to integrate sustainability into every aspect of its operations.

A strong addition to the AER team

Andre Weiglein, President of AER Worldwide, expressed his enthusiasm about Andrew joining the team: “Every team, whether the context is business, sports, family or community is both dependent on its stars as well as the cohesiveness of all team members. AER has just added a star in Andrew Parlier. The combination of his energy, training, education and abilities as a leader is a major addition for AER Worldwide's progression of leadership in our industry.”
