Danfoss Drives introduced that Hannes Leichtfried has been appointed head of gross sales and advertising and marketing for the Drives enterprise section in North America.
Leichtfried, an Austrian native, brings to the position practically 30 years of expertise at Danfoss in Austria and Germany. He started his profession at Danfoss in 1994 as a technical help engineer, then moved into gross sales and advertising and marketing roles. He was most just lately the top of gross sales and advertising and marketing for Danfoss Drives within the Central European area. In his new position, he will probably be based mostly on the Danfoss Drives’ Loves Park, Ill., workplace.
“I am thrilled about my new role in a vital market for our Drives business,” Leichtfried stated. “There are significant opportunities to capture market share and enhance the Danfoss brand, both in our core business and in emerging segments like Electrification. With our skilled team in North America, we aim to create a compelling value proposition for our customers, offering application leadership and support to facilitate their decarbonization efforts.”
“Our region has a strong trend of growth for Danfoss Drives,” stated Rick Sporrer, president of Danfoss North America. “With high-quality products, and our experienced and competent team on the ground, we have the foundation to take a leading position in the North America region. Hannes brings a wealth of experience and a strong track record, and I look forward to working with him to increase our market share in North America.”
Leichtfried has an undergraduate engineering diploma from Federal Higher Technical Institute (Austria) in addition to further coaching in gross sales, advertising and marketing and strategic administration.
