Summary
Alex Beutel is a catalyst production manager and research engineer with nine years of hands-on experience developing and scaling hydrogen fuel cell catalysts for commercial use. Based in Columbus, Ohio, he leads scale-up efforts, implements ISO:9001-aligned quality systems, and coordinates production scheduling for both internal projects and external customers. His background spans lab synthesis, high-temperature reactor operations, automated feed system design, and electrochemical qualification of new materials, giving him end-to-end expertise from R&D to manufacturing. Alex combines chemical engineering training from Ohio State with practical shop and safety compliance experience, enabling pragmatic problem solving in regulated production environments. Outside the lab he balances a student-like curiosity with creative outlets—rap, dance, and basketball—that inform a collaborative, energetic leadership style. He’s particularly skilled at translating lab-scale catalyst performance into reproducible, auditable manufacturing processes that meet customer and regulatory needs.
