Our Leadership

With over 15 years of industry expertise, Brianne offers seasoned guidance and strategic vision to businesses grappling with evolving challenges. She held pivotal leadership roles at Air-Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI), a prominent manufacturers' trade association and regulatory certification body, where she spearheaded industry-wide councils and certification teams. Prior to her time at AHRI, Brianne gained a strong foundation at Air Products, a Fortune 500 Company, excelling in business management, supply chain optimization, product engineering, and financial analysis for technical capital projects. Brianne's exceptional contributions have garnered recognition from esteemed organizations such as the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, the Society of Women Engineers, the Pennsylvania State University, and Lehigh University, where she has been honored with career and leadership achievements, prestigious fellowships, and a gold medal. 

Ms. Santarelli is educated with an MBA in Finance from Lehigh University, a bachelor's degree of science in mechanical engineering from the Pennsylvania State University, and a green belt certification in Lean Six Sigma continuous improvement. She is an alumna of Wharton's "Boards that Lead" program and has actively served on various volunteer and advisory boards.

 Outside of work, Brianne enjoys running (more like a leisurely jog, but hey, it still counts!) and skiing (on mountains where one can stop to catch their breath, though the view takes it away), and treasures time spent with her family (her kids are hilariously unpredictable and keep her and husband Dave on their toes in many ways).
