How two MMA alums are leading the way in marine decarbonization

After graduating from MMA, Casey and Allen embarked on very different career paths. Today, however, they both reside within Siemens Energy’s Electrification, Automation, and Digitalization (EAD) business unit, co-leading an organization of 400 employees dedicated to improving the sustainability of the marine sector and other industrial verticals across the Americas region.

Reuniting after two decades to co-lead a global team

Casey was the first female to graduate from MMA’s International Business & Logistics program. She continued her education, receiving an M.S. in management from Troy University in 2001. She also received a graduate certificate from Harvard University in Corporate Sustainability and Innovation in 2023.

Casey leveraged her education early on, holding various logistics-related roles. This included a stint from 1999 to 2001 where she worked alongside Navy SEALs in developing the SEAL Delivery Vehicle (SDV), a type of crewed submersible used to deliver personnel and equipment for special operations missions.

In 2001, Casey joined Siemens Energy as a material logistics and purchasing specialist. With an aptitude for working with customers and building relationships, she eventually transitioned out of logistics and excelled in different sales and business development roles. In 2022, Casey was appointed Head of Americas Sales for the EAD business. She is now responsible for an international team of technical sales managers and proposal professionals from Argentina to Canada.

Allen obtained his B.S. in Marine Engineering Technology from MMA. He has spent most of his career with Siemens Energy (and previously Siemens), where he has held various positions in project management, engineering, and management positions. Before joining the company in 2005, Allen spent ten years at Rockwell Automation.
