TRILLIUM US - Key Persons
Job Titles:
- VP of Engineering and Manufacturing
Al Citarella is Trillium's VP of Engineering and Manufacturing. Al has been in the industry for over two decades, as he originally founded United Vacuum which was acquired by Trillium in 2012.
Graham Stone is the President and CEO of Trillium, responsible for the vision and strategic direction for the business. He founded Trillium in 2002, after 15 years at Edwards. Graham is most excited about leading entrepreneurial businesses that are highly responsive to customer needs.
As such, he saw an opportunity to service the vacuum industry with the stability and quality standards of a large organization, with the flexible, local and customer-first orientation of a smaller business. Under Graham's direction and with his outstanding management team in place, Trillium has become a major player in the vacuum industry and the fastest growing independent service provider in their field.
Graham is a UK transplant and nationalized American citizen, living in California. He and his wife love to travel, having recently done the Inca Trail in Peru as well as cycled the Danube. Travel is a family value; both his grown children are leveraging their native language to explore the world. His daughter teaches English in Japan and his son teaches English in Ecuador.
His favorite mode of travel is cycling, and his dream involves wide open spaces, and self-propelled transportation. (You will see that this is an ongoing theme for our management team.) Specifically, Graham and his wife would like to bike across America, as well as cycle the length of Japan.
Rob Breisch is our VP of Sales and Marketing and has been with Trillium since 2002 when we were just starting out in Wilsonville, OR.
Prior to Trillium, Rob served in the active-duty Air Force as a logistics officer. During this time, he received his Master's degree in Economics, and is currently an Air Force Reservist, teaching at the US Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs.
Rob focuses on working with our customer-facing employees and systems, and our brand. Rob enjoys learning about our customers' specific applications and challenges, as well as finding ways to maintain and enhance the customer experience.
