Innovation doesn’t immediately come to mind in an age-old industry like plumbing. But at Oatey, a global leader in plumbing technologies, embracing new ways to solve old problems is embedded in everything they do. As Director of Business Development, Eric Hull is at the helm of problem-solving and is not afraid to think outside the box – or the organization.

Eric was introduced to JumpStart nearly a decade ago through his work in corporate venture capital investment. JumpStart and

Oatey explored opportunities through this partnership and ultimately established a mutually beneficial working relationship.

When Oatey decided to explore product enhancements using smart-enabled IoT technologies and advanced material science, they knew JumpStart had the expertise and relationships to support their goals.

JumpStart’s team of experts took time to understand Oatey’s unique business challenges, helping to identify and implement solutions strategically. JumpStart tapped into a global network of startup companies to source, assess and prioritize technologies.

Navigating innovation can be challenging, especially in industries where change takes time. Leaning on JumpStart’s team allowed Oatey to think bigger, helping them stay ahead of the curve so they can remain focused on business objectives and company values.
