Linde Engineering North America appoint Jason Cooper as President and CEO

Mr. Cooper has 22 years of experience at the domestic and international level in both owner/operator and engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) corporate environments. He has been with the Linde Group since 2008.

“We are pleased to name Jason Cooper as LENA’s President and CEO,” said Dr. Christian Bruch, Linde Group Executive Board. “Jason has demonstrated clear results for Linde in numerous areas of the company and in several areas of our international footprint. We look forward to the executive leadership he will bring to LENA as the company explores growth opportunities.  I would also like to thank Steve Bertone for his long-time dedication to Linde and his valuable contributions throughout his more than 33 years with the company.”

Mr. Cooper began his tenure with Linde eight years ago as a Business Unit Manager responsible for Hydrogen and Synthesis Gas. He later assumed roles including Vice President of Project Management and Construction and most recently served as Managing Director of the company’s southeast Asia region.

“I see great opportunities for LENA’s future,” said Cooper. “We have a very talented team that have achieved some wonderful things over the years. Certainly there are opportunities and some challenges in the road ahead, but I know our employees at every level are committed to generating value for our customers.  We will continue to push for strong collaboration with customers and partners, driving for innovative solutions and delivering successful projects.”

Cooper will work primarily from LENA’s Houston office and will maintain ongoing presence throughout the company’s geographic footprint.
