Belkin Australia and New Zealand has appointed Paul Saussey as head of sales for Australia, bringing a multitude of sales and leadership experience from the consumer technology and IT industry.
Saussey has 20 years of sales, business development and management experience including national account and field management roles with Mitac Australia (Navman and Magellan). For the last six years he was national sales manager for the retail business of Brother International Australia, where he was responsible for growing and overseeing a team managing $125 million in turnover.
He joins the business following the recent departure of Greg Morrison.
“We welcome Paul to the Belkin family as our new Australian head of sales. We are confident that his extensive experience, both in sales and management roles has equipped him well for the exciting challenge ahead,” Belkin Australia and New Zealand managing director, Stephanie Caulfield said.
“As a global business with a strong local foothold, his ability to balance strategy with tactical, tangible sales results through his strong knowledge of the local industry is something we know will resonate with our national sales team and our retail partners alike.”
Commenting on his appointment, Saussey said, “Like so many in the industry, I’ve admired Belkin from afar for many years now, so to have the opportunity to lead the Australian sales team during such an exciting time in the history and growth of the company is equally humbling and exciting.
“I can’t wait to work closely with the team to drive incremental business value while simultaneously driving growth for our retail and channel partners. Such partnerships are of huge importance to both Belkin and myself as we continue to bring to life the Belkin brand ethos to empower people through technology, which resonates with me.”
