Stephen B. Harrison
Stephen Harrison’s experience in the industrial and specialty gases industry spans 28 years. For 16 years he worked in England with BOC Gases doing a range of roles at national and international level in cylinder gases, bulk gases and onsite tonnage gas supply.
He then moved to Munich to work for Linde Gas as global head of its Specialty Gases and Equipment business. That was a role he held for 11 years and he championed this business to achieve the number one global market share position. His functional scope covered business leadership, strategy, marketing and supply chain globally.
For the past year, Harrison has been working through his own company, sbh4 GmbH, as an independent consultant in the industrial gases sector, advising companies worldwide on issues related to CO2 applications and sourcing, amongst a host of other topics. From that base, he also supports gasworld on its Editorial Advisory Board.
