Meet a Selection of Our Team

Hilary Meanwell

Senior Director

Hilary is our Senior Director at Sentec and her expertise was recognised more widely within Xylem in 2021 becoming the second Chief Scientist in the entire company group. Hilary and our team of Physicists are the starting point for developing innovative products from first principles, using theory, modelling software and experimentation to ensure deep understanding of a problem before finding solutions. Sentec's Mechanical and Electronics teams then transform concepts into practical products. Brainstorms with multi-discipline teams are a key part of our innovation process - internally and together with clients.
