Hamid Sarshar has been named president to lead 50-year-old Tesco Control into the next strategic phase of growth and innovation, under the United Flow Technologies (UFT) platform. UFT completed its acquisition of Tesco in November 2021, creating one of the largest systems integrators in the water/wastewater industry.
Sarshar joined UFT in October 2022 as executive vice president of operations focused on operational optimization efforts at Tesco.
"I am personally thrilled Hamid has accepted the position of president of Tesco Controls, and I am confident in his ability to immediately step into this leadership role at this important moment in Tesco’s history,” said UFT’s CEO Matt Hart. “Hamid’s extensive leadership background and industrial experience will accelerate the organizational and process improvements already underway, including expanding capacity to better serve our customers, creating efficiencies, and driving synergies between Tesco and the rest of the UFT organization.”
Sarshar has more than 20 years of experience working for OEMs across multiple industries. Prior to joining UFT, Sarshar was vice president and general manager of Flowserve’s $550 million Global Isolation Valve business for four years. At Flowserve, he led more than 1,500 people and nine production locations worldwide growing operating income over 24%, improving on-time delivery, and establishing AGILE product development for Flowserve’s most strategic R&D projects.
Prior to Flowserve, Sarshar was a senior executive with General Electric Oil & Gas, last serving as executive director of offshore engineering, where he led a team of 200 subsea drilling system engineers in seven countries responsible for GE’s $800 million offshore business unit.
