In his career spanning more than 20 years, Jon has been involved in a great diversity of projects, such as designing and executing large-scale commercial and industrial buildings, IT and information management systems, and complex electro-mechanical machinery for highly specialized applications. Though every project is unique and has its own calculus driving decision-making, Jon’s objective is always the same: to deliver quality results that satisfy all stakeholders’ interests. That objective is what motivates and engages him.

“One of the most important skills for our project managers to have is to be good listeners – to read between the lines and really understand what our clients want and need. It’s essential for meeting their requests, addressing the challenges they face, and ultimately providing an outcome that drives them toward success.”

Anita joined Bardex in 2006 as the ISO Administrator after 15 years leading Quality activities in the medical-device and pharmaceutical industries. She quickly improved the effectiveness of Bardex’s Quality Management System and played an invaluable role in establishing and registering the Environmental, Health, and Safety Management System. Under her administration of our Quality and Safety Systems, clients are ensured the highest level of design and manufacturing compliance in the industry.

“Our clients depend on us to deliver a vetted network of suppliers and products that meet all critical pathways. My team is proud of its efficiency and coordination of compliance systems, maintaining the Bardex standard of delivering the most capable systems.”

Jon’s C-suite roles in numerous markets, including infrastructure, marine, construction, facilities, and energy, and vast experience in accounting and financial operations uniquely qualify him as a leader in executing Bardex’s strategic vision and growth. A team-builder who takes pride in investing in people, Jon regards Bardex’s unwavering customer-focus
as invaluable.

“Our clients need to feel comfortable with the financial commitment they’re making and our ability to successfully execute very complex projects. Our proven financial strength and capabilities go a long way in achieving that comfort level. But beyond that, we put our hearts and souls into these projects because we want every client to feel they would hire us again.”

Tom parlayed his love of surfing and the ocean into a career distinguished by many firsts. After earning a degree in mechanical engineering with an emphasis on ocean engineering, Tom joined Bardex, where he worked on projects that spawned first-of-a-kind products, leading to six U.S. and international patents.

Some of the pioneering work he’s been involved in includes many first-of-their-kind projects: the deep-water floating drilling vessel; the drilling-riser and BOP handling equipment for the first vessel capable of drilling in 5,000 feet; the deep-water floating production vessel in the GoM; the steel catenary riser retrieval system; the tendon tensioning system; chain jack mooring line tensioning system; and the elevator for lifting mega yachts into dry dock.

“I feel fortunate to have brought the pioneering spirit to Bardex and to mentoring our talented engineers. And I bring that legacy to the CEO position, where my focus is on being a valued partner to our clients by listening to their issues and then sharing our experience and expertise.”

Nathan has two major passions: lifting and moving heavy things and getting to solutions faster. They are what have driven his career for over 15 years, earning him a reputation for leading and growing engineering teams that deliver successful on- and offshore projects across multiple markets.

Nathan believes it takes exceptional people to deliver exceptional results and works to ensure that Bardex engineers bring a sense of urgency to every project. His approach to fostering this, as well as to developing products and engineers, is hands-on, emphasizing the importance of spending time with the product and in the field.

“On any project, every engineer has to see the greater purpose for the client. We seek to champion fit-for-purpose designs that align with their budget and schedule, positioning them for tremendous success.”
