"It has been particularly energizing to see how Bosch has proactively adapted to the new challenges brought about by COVID -- one of my first priorities is to build on this momentum, leading our business into new areas for growth in alignment with our customers' evolving needs."

Jayaraman brings a wealth of experience and industry knowledge to his new role.

Jayaraman plans to bring his international perspective into play via a global expansion strategy for the Communications family of iconic brands. "I'm impressed with the passion of our team members -- the strength of the culture here is clear," he says. "It all starts with the customer, and I see great potential for our continued growth into new markets, driven by increased brand awareness and focusing our deep engineering expertise and resources into products that make sense for today's end users. I'm looking forward to working closely with our customers, partners and colleagues around the world, gathering input to achieve these goals."

Jayaraman will be based at Business Unit headquarters in Burnsville, Minnesota.
