STOCKHOLM, Sweden, May 4, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Neonode Inc. (NASDAQ:
NEON), today announced the appointment of Anthony Uhrick as Vice President Sales AMER.
Mr. Uhrick is an industry veteran with over 20 years of
experience in the touch screen industry developing business for
early market leaders such as 3M Touch
Systems, Planar, and Smart Technologies. His career has focused on
emerging interactive technology with extensive experience in
developing new markets, creating partner relationships, managing
product promotion and launches, and sales channel development.
Mr. Uhrick holds a B.Sc. in Business Administration and Finance
from California State University,
Northridge and a M.Sc. in Environmental Science from
Loyola Marymount University in
Los Angeles, California.
The recruitment of Mr. Uhrick is part of a strategy and
organization update targeting an increased focus on the company's
contactless touch business and on current market opportunities in
North America, Asia, as well as in Europe. A key point in this update is that the
business area organization Neonode established during 2020 is
replaced by a regional sales organization.
In the new organization Mr. Uhrick will assume the role Vice
President Sales AMER and will lead Neonode's sales work in the
Americas. Johan Swartz, who
previously led our business area HMI Products, will assume the role
Vice President Sales APAC and will lead the company's sales work in
Asia and Pacific. Jonas Wærn, who previously led our
business area HMI Solutions, will assume the role Vice President
Sales EMEA and lead the company's sales work in Europe, Middle
East and Africa. These
changes are effective immediately.
"I am very pleased to have Anthony join our team. Anthony's
extensive experience and track record in the touch screen industry
and in B2B sales is a perfect fit to grow our business in the
Americas. Further, the new regional sales organization will
increase our customer focus and our ability to meet the market
demands in all three regions, which will help us accelerate our
topline growth," said Urban
Forssell, CEO of Neonode.
