Nick Estock, who has been with AddUp since 2021, recently stepped into the role of deputy chief executive officer, succeeding Rush LaSelle as the leader in North America. Estock has more than 15 years of experience in the manufacturing industry and across multiple additive technologies.
AddUp says Estock has a visionary approach and a relentless commitment to driving customer success and embracing cutting-edge technologies.
