Harman Professional has appointed Frederico Schuch to the position of director of intercontinental sales. In this position, Schuch will be responsible for working closely with channel partners and dealers in Canada, Mexico, Central and South America, and The Caribbean Islands to ensure the highest levels of customer engagement and satisfaction. He will report directly to Scott Robbins, executive vice president of global sales of Harman's Professional Division, and he will be responsible for managing a team of eight at the intercontinental regional sales office in San Juan, Puerto Rico.

Schuch most recently served as senior sales manager for Harman Professional, having been appointed to that position in September 2012 after four years as national sales manager for Harman in Brazil.

"As an executive with worldwide experience and an in-depth understanding of Harman Professional, Frederico is uniquely qualified to take on the role of director, intercontinental sales," Robbins says. "We see tremendous opportunities in so many geographic markets that Frederico will oversee, and his professional relationships and technical expertise will serve him well in maximizing on these opportunities."

"In my new position, I look forward to drawing from my experience in previous positions to help grow Harman Professional's market share in the Intercontinental regions," Schuch says. "While the demands of the marketplace vary from country to country, I am confident that Harman's commitment to developing world-class technology, combined with my commitment to building relationships with existing and potential customers, will contribute to substantial growth throughout these regions."
