Mr. Braun will manage Maxager’s sales and marketing activities in Europe from a new Maxager European headquarters in Zurich, Switzerland.

Mr. Braun, 37, joins Maxager from Bearing Point (NYSE: BE), the global technology and consulting firm, where he was responsible for business development in the process industries.

“Maxager solutions are meeting growing demand worldwide as more and more corporations seek to maximize the return on their existing assets and make better decisions on new capital investments” said Michael Rothschild, Maxager |
