There's probably a way to automate this." That is the motto Harry Hextall lives by. It is also, more or less, our entire product strategy. Harry joined Azumuta last week as Senior Product Manager. He comes to us from Oqton, where he spent three years working the seam between design and engineering on Manufacturing OS, and before that from Dyson in the UK. He has swapped Bristol for Ghent, and he arrives already fluent in MES, work instruction management and shop floor automation, which saves us a lot of onboarding slides. A fewLinkedIn · 7 Sept 2026
