BROOMFIELD, Colo. — Sarah Simpson is the new CFO at the press technology company Viega LLC.

Simpson joins the Viega executive team with experience in complex global businesses, having worked previously at Baker Hughes, General Electric, and, most recently, as the CFO of Nexus Controls, according to a press release from Viega.

"Sarah brings with her extensive experience managing large capital budgets, implementing financial systems, and developing a global team across several countries,” said Markus Brettschneider, the company’s president and CEO. “As Viega continues to grow and expand, particularly in North America, Sarah will be instrumental in helping us reach our goals and achieve success.”

“I am excited to join Viega at a time when the company is experiencing so much growth,” said Simpson. “Press technology is the future of this industry. The company’s commitment to quality products, safety, talented teams, and respected core values are why I am excited to be a part of the Viega team.”

Simpson graduated from the University of Colorado with a degree in accounting and then became a certified public accountant.

In addition to her professional expertise and experience, she is passionate about community involvement, volunteering for more than five years at the STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) summer camp hosted by the Colorado School of Mines. The camp hosts seventh- and eighth-grade girls from two schools in the Denver area. “It’s rewarding to see girls start thinking about STEM careers early,” said Simpson.

While at Baker Hughes, Simpson was active in its Aspire program, which mentors employees who joined the company right out of college.

Viega is a subsidiary of The Viega Group, which has more than 120 years of experience in building technology.
