ArtSystems has a new sales and marketing director. Previous employee Russell Harpham has taken on the role.
“Those with long memories may remember Russell from his time with us during 1999-2003 when he first started his career. Back then he was instrumental in developing key areas of our business - and over the years he has more than proved the early promise he showed with us by building a solid career through hard work, drive, and initiative,” said ArtSystems’ MD, Steve Hawker. “ArtSystems has enjoyed sustained growth over the last few years, and Russell’s appointment is part of broader plans to sustain and accelerate this success.”
Since 2003 Harpham has worked for three global manufacturers in the CAD and AV markets, developing reseller and distribution channels for emergent technologies, including large-format scanning and interactive boards and screens. His most recent role was as a director for Yamaha Unified Communications Inc. where his responsibilities included building international and domestic sales and creating marketing teams to support reseller and distribution channels across EMEA.
Harpham said: “There are many familiar faces still out there in the key, wide-format print sectors, and I’m looking forward to renewing our relationships. My key message echoes that of the ArtSystems’ core ethos: ‘There are some truly great opportunities coming, and we want to make sure that with our support our resellers will be in the perfect position to make the very best of them’.”
