After 28 years as ETC’s Vice President of Sales, Mark Vassallo is retiring. His influence on the company has spanned decades, departments and continents. His leadership and industry knowledge have helped shape ETC into the company it is today.
Vassallo will continue working as a consultant, contributing his experience to the ETC team and its relationships within the industry.
I have thoroughly enjoyed my last 28 years at ETC and am extremely grateful for everything we have achieved. I look forward to seeing what the company continues to do for its customers. I only have one question left: is anyone listening?, says Mark Vassallo.
ETC has named David Hilton its new Vice President of Sales. Hilton joined ETC in 2007 and spent ten years working at its Hollywood office, first as a Field Project Coordinator and later as Associate Regional Manager. In 2017, he relocated to Wisconsin and became Product Marketing Manager, overseeing the product management team.
Most recently, Hilton served as ETC’s Senior US Sales Manager. In this role, he led the territorial reorganisation of the Sales department, increasing local ownership and enabling decisions to be made closer to customers while maintaining strong coordination across the company.
James Foster, President of ETC, says: "We are extremely grateful for Mark’s decades of leadership in Sales and his commitment to ETC. He has left a lasting impact on the company. David is the right person to continue his work, thanks to his extensive knowledge of ETC, its markets, sales channels and customers. He has a strong focus on data and system improvement and has helped ETC modernise and progress. I am delighted to welcome him to the executive team".
In his new role, Hilton will continue to focus on sales in the Americas. He will also coordinate with the international sales team to ensure a consistent strategy worldwide. David Lincecum, Vice President of Austin and Asia-Pacific, and Darren Beckley, Vice President of European Operations, will continue to oversee ETC’s sales activities in Asia and Europe, respectively.
After nearly twenty years at ETC, I have seen first-hand that our greatest strength is the trust we have earned from our customers, partners and one another. Looking ahead, I am excited to help ETC strengthen those relationships, serve customers in new ways and continue raising the standards of collaboration within this industry, says Hilton.
