Helen Schuster

President

​

I am a dedicated and creative business professional with a strong technical acumen, driven by strategic thinking and problem-solving. My career, shaped by a blend of technical development and customer relationship building, reflects a passion for innovation. As the Owner/President of HMS Technical Development, I collaborate on cutting-edge projects in the Oil & Gas, Construction, and Mining industries, specializing in customized product development, asset protection from corrosion, wear & fugitive dust, managing the big picture, ordering & logistics management to get what you need where you need it.
 

During my tenure as Business Development Director and Commercial Project Manager at Carus Corporation, I optimized accountability systems, launched core products, and fostered key partnerships. At American Refining Group, Inc., I wore multiple hats, successfully managing new product development, including a notable dust suppressant for silica sand.
