SYDNEY: Philips Australia has appointed former New South Wales state sales and key account manager, Alex Rouggos, as their new Peripherals and Accessories customer marketing manager.

Rouggos, who joined Philips in 1998, will handle the company’s growing accessories and peripherals portfolio, boosted last year with the acquisition of DLO, as well as account management for various distributors, such as Crest Electronics, iWorld Australia, E3!, and Qualifi, while also maintaining key account management of The Nuance Group.

Philips Consumer Lifestyle Australia director, Matt Moran, said Rouggos’ background made him the “ideal person” for the role.

“With his extensive experience in account management and in-depth product knowledge I am confident that Alex will thrive in his new role and continue to be a superb asset to the company,” he said.
