Microban International recently welcomed four new senior members to its team. Dr Souvik Nandi, Ravi Rangarajan, Brigette Bartko and Rob Tidwell have recently been appointed to senior roles within the company, each offering their own unique skillset to support Microban’s vision of being the most trusted brand in ultimate cleanliness and product protection.

Nandi brings a unique chemical engineering perspective and a wealth of industry experience to Microban, as its newly appointed vice president of technology and innovations. Prior to joining Microban, Nandi worked in product development, process development and commercial operations on a global scale.

Rangarajan has taken up a new role as a senior director for global textiles at Microban. Following his master’s degree in chemical and environmental engineering, Rangarajan’s extensive international career began with roles in R&D, product management and manufacturing, and progressed to more managerial positions in marketing, business development and management on completion of an MBA. He has held roles in the coatings, consumer care, medical, antimicrobial, textile, and sustainability sectors, and looks forward to bringing this variety of experience to Microban.

Bartko began her career in chemistry, before moving into the regulatory, environmental health and safety and sustainability realms. She joined Microban in October of last year as the director of global regulatory affairs, after being drawn to the potential that the field of antimicrobial technologies holds to protect products and the environment.

Tidwell has been appointed to the role of vice president of finance, having built up a wealth of business experience and acumen in the finance and sales sectors. Tidwell’s interest in finance runs deeper than a love for numbers; he believes that finance is about forming partnerships that fuel profitable growth and improvement.
