Randy Segeren Appointed as President of Le Maitre USA LLCLe Maitre announces the appointment of Randy Segeren as president of Le Maitre USA LLC. In fact this is really a welcome back to Segeren, who the company says played a key role previously, when Le Maitre Special Effects was set up as the original distributor for the North American market twenty years ago, before the company began operating directly as Le Maitre USA LLC in 2011. Having spent the past twelve years working for several top distribution companies in the entertainment industry, selling lighting, sound and fog equipment, most recently at Erikson Pro, Segeren has established himself as an extremely knowledgeable and successful industry specialist. Segeren plans to build upon the excellent work already undertaken by the American team, expanding the dealer networks for both smoke and haze, and pyro. He will also be ensuring the company maintains customer support, expanding the service department and increasing production levels of fog and haze fluid. Commenting on his appointment Segeren says, "I am absolutely delighted to be re-joining Le Maitre. It is a world class manufacturing company; a leader in pyrotechnics, fog machines, and paper effects. The company has a stellar reputation for innovative products, R&D, and superior customer service, keeping up with industry changes and responding to customers with timely and consistent support." Segeren continues, "To be given the opportunity to return to the company where I started my career in the industry is exciting and fulfilling. I have been blessed with many great opportunities in my life and I see this as the completion of the circle. I am passionate about my work and set my sights and goals high to challenge myself. I look forward to working with the experienced and dedicated teams on both sides of the pond." "We are absolutely delighted to have Randy back on the team again and I couldn't think of a better person to head up Le Maitre USA." comments Karen Haddon, joint managing director of Le Maitre Ltd. "With almost 30 years experience in sales, manufacturing, management, and research and development, mainly within the industry, he has all the skills and vision required to really move Le Maitre USA on to the next level." Carissa Blackwell is also joining Le Maitre USA as operations manager. With a strong background in finance and office management, Blackwell will assist the North American team to expand on their distribution opportunities, playing a key role in managing all centralized processes.
