The food, water and wellness industries are navigating unprecedented complexity—from emerging contaminants and evolving supply chains to rising consumer expectations for safety, transparency and trust. NSF is adapting its structure to enable faster execution, deeper scientific leadership, and more agile delivery of integrated solutions across more than 110 countries.

Haan, who joined NSF in 2024 as Vice President of Water, brings more than 25 years of technical, operational and commercial experience with GE, Ecolab and Nalco. In his expanded role, he will oversee NSF’s global divisions leading global teams to advance science-based programs that safeguard human health in diverse markets.

“We continue to evolve our organization to deliver even more value to our clients—bringing integrated solutions that protect their brands, open new markets, and build consumer trust,” said Pedro Sancha, President and CEO of NSF. “Our people are our greatest asset, and we are committed to building world-class teams that will accelerate growth and scale our operations globally.”

Boks will lead NSF’s global Water division, which supports safe drinking water systems, wastewater treatment and plumbing products, as well as solutions for emerging contaminants such as PFAS and microplastics. Boks joined NSF in 2014 and has held leadership roles in sales, operations and global program management, most recently serving as Senior Director of Global Water Programs.

Shiver will oversee corporate development, mergers and acquisitions strategy, and business intelligence initiatives. He brings more than 20 years of corporate development experience across aerospace, industrials and energy sectors, including senior roles at GE Aerospace and Credit Suisse.

“We are focused on shaping the next chapter of NSF’s global impact,” Sancha added. “These appointments come at an exciting time as we launch Blueprint 2030, which sets a bold course to double NSF’s scale and position the organization as a global leader in human health across food, water and wellness.”
