VulcanForms appoints Jeff Hemenway as CRO
Manufacturer brings in 35-year sales veteran to lead commercial strategy and customer partnerships
VulcanForms has named Jeff Hemenway Chief Revenue Officer to lead commercial strategy and growth. Hemenway will also be charged with expanding strategic customer partnerships and widening adoption of the company’s metal additive manufacturing technology across aerospace, defense, medical, automotive and industrial markets.
The hire follows VulcanForms’ expansion of production capacity and continues the buildout of a leadership team CEO Kevin Kassekert has assembled since taking over the company in 2024.
A three-decade sales career
Hemenway brings more than 35 years of executive leadership and commercial experience across aerospace, defense, advanced manufacturing, automotive and medical industries. He most recently served as vice president of sales at Hadrian, where he helped build and scale the advanced manufacturing company’s commercial organization and developed strategic partnerships across the aerospace and public-sector markets.
Earlier, at Stratasys, he was senior vice president of global industry sales after developing a customer program that expanded partnerships across multiple business segments.
“Jeff has spent his career building trusted relationships with market-leading companies and turning complex customer requirements into scalable commercial opportunities,” said Kassekert. “He understands how to connect differentiated technology and manufacturing capabilities with the needs of sophisticated customers to create lasting strategic partnerships and enterprise value. “Jeff will be instrumental in scaling our commercial organization and deepening those partnerships as we take on larger, more complex programs.”
Hemenway said: “What attracted me to VulcanForms is the opportunity to transform the path from optimized design through scaled production. By integrating advanced design and engineering with automated manufacturing technology and scaled production, VulcanForms will help customers optimize part performance, accelerate industrialization, ensure quality and reduce supply chain risk.
“I’m excited to build the strategic partnerships that bring these capabilities to our customers’ most important programs and create meaningful, long-term value for both our customers and VulcanForms.”
