Turing, a pioneering digital solutions provider leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) to optimize asset performance across the water value chain, has appointed Jose Carlos Gil Jara as the new Director of Sales for Europe.
Turing, named after the father of AI, Alan Turing, revolutionizes water management through AI and Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) technologies. The company offers proprietary end-to-end solutions for water and wastewater treatment and distribution systems, catering to industrial and municipal water clients worldwide.
Spun out of Gradiant, Turing was launched in 2023 bringing together the digital business of Gradiant as well as Synauta, a digital solutions firm that employs machine learning to achieve energy savings in water treatment, and SpaceAge Labs, specializing in IIoT and AI for water network and land management.
Gil Jara joined Gradiant as Director of Sales for Europe in April 2023 and will be combining his role in Gradiant and Turing as Sales Director – Europe. He brings a wealth of experience and a proven track record in sales and business development within the water and wastewater sector. His career spans several prominent roles, including Water & Wastewater BDM Europe at WEG, where he managed business development for EPCs and European developers globally.
Prior to his role at WEG, Gil Jara served as Country Manager at AIRTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE STRUCTURES S.A. (formerly INYPSA), an independent multidisciplinary engineering and consulting group. In this position, he oversaw the management and development of four companies in the Dominican Republic, focusing on engineering and consulting, urban development, energy efficiency, and renewable energies.
Gil Jara's extensive experience also includes serving as International Director at AMBISAT (AMBIente and SATélites), where he applied satellite remote sensing for master planning and projects in the water sector. Additionally, he held the position of Director of the Andalusian Delegation at ESPINA OBRAS HIDRÁULICAS S.A., a company specializing in hydraulic infrastructure construction and management.
Gil Jara will lead Turing’s sales and business development efforts across Europe, driving growth and enhancing relationships with key accounts and projects worldwide. As Turing continues to expand its footprint across Europe, clients can expect enhanced support and innovative solutions tailored to meet the evolving demands of the water industry.
