Tina Fallert

Global Operations/HR Director

Tina recently celebrated her 25th anniversary with Team Blacoh and can’t believe how time flies! As Global Operations/HR Director, Tina applies her extensive knowledge of the fluid control industry daily to product quality, efficiency in manufacturing, service excellence, and rapid delivery times. She also uses her experience in talent acquisition and retention to maintain Blacoh’s world class team of skilled professionals. When not working, Tina enjoys time with her family in Phoenix, Arizona. She enjoys painting rocks, traveling, and being outdoors (when it’s not too hot).

Matt Hekman

Engineering Director

Meet Matt, our Engineering Director, whose creations have quite literally gone from hardware store shelves to fighter jets! With over two decades of product development experience, Matt has left his engineering fingerprints on everything from the Panama Canal Expansion to air-operated pumps. Guided by the philosophy "be not simply good, be good for something," Matt brings both vision and practical experience to our engineering initiatives. When he's not advancing our technical capabilities, you'll find him enjoying time with his family at the beach or in the mountains, or tackling his latest DIY project.
