With upwards of 20 years of experience in sales, marketing, and operational roles across a variety of industries, Mr. Freihofer has built a reputation for driving growth and scaling businesses through innovative strategies, customer-centric approaches, and strong team leadership.
"We're excited to have Charles on the Toppen team," said Owen Boyd, CEO of Toppen. "We started this company because we know water. We are water experts. With our established leading product portfolio, our need has become selecting the person we believe is best suited to lead our sales and growth efforts. Charles was the ideal candidate and it's a pleasure to welcome him to our team. Charles comes with a reputation for collaboration, versatility, and passion. He is a perfect fit and aligns well with Toppen's vision to bring clean, safe water to the masses."
Most recently, Mr. Freihofer served as President and CRO at Nvatomate, where he led the company to triple its revenue and increase profit margins fivefold. His success was driven by launching new products, implementing scalable business processes, and building strategic partnerships that enhanced the company's offerings and long-term sustainability.
