i-mate, the global leader in convergent technology products, has appointed Jack Craine as the company`s new Global Sales Director.
Craine, who will be working from the company headquarters in Dubai, will be in charge of implementing sales growth in the company`s hardware and software products in new regions as well as increasing and maintaining the existing product sales.
Craine has been appointed after working with i-mate for two years as the European Sales Director, developing the European sales strategy, which has become the company`s largest global market. In addition, Craine has extensive experience in the consumables and telecommunications industries.
The appointment has, among other reasons, been made due to the company`s strong revenue growth of $22.5 million for the 2006 fiscal year which has led to the company`s expansion into developing nations like Africa and hence, the need for a Global Sales Director.
Bruce Cockburn, Sales Director for Leaf Wireless, exclusive distributor for the i-mate range in sub-Saharan Africa, says: "We are confident that the higher levels of focus on global sales strategy resulting from Jack`s appointment will be of significant benefit to higher levels of growth in Africa."
He concludes: "Recent forecasts from a number of analysts have predicted that the majority of handset market share growth will be in emerging markets. The timing of this appointment could not have been better."
