Global intellectual property firm Murgitroyd has today announced
the appointment of a new VP of Sales for the Eastern United States.
Kent Robbins will join the firm from international information
management firm docuLynx, where he led the national sales team.
A former US Marine Corps officer, Kent brings a decade of sales
experience with national and international firms across the United
States, including ADP, Gardner Denver and bsi. He’ll now take on
responsibility for many of Murgitroyd’s key US accounts including a
number of blue chip clients.
“I’m excited to be joining this company,” he said. “Like me,
Murgitroyd is always looking for ways to improve client service. I
appreciate its core values — honour, wisdom, anticipation and
clarity — and its commitment not only to clients but also to being
a socially responsible business and employer.
“This is a firm that offers some of the finest attorneys and
attorney services in the world, and I’m very much looking forward
to being a part of the team.”
Murgitroyd has also appointed a new VP of sales for the Western
states. Tom Kepner, formerly the company’s Global IP Counsel
Liaison, has been with Murgitroyd since 2013, and has more than 20
years of experience in sales and business development. Working
throughout the western United States, he specialises in business
development, account management, lead generation and the
development of strategic partnerships.
Ed Murgitroyd, the company’s CEO, welcomed the appointments,
saying: “Kent has a remarkable CV and a skillset to match. I have
no doubt he’ll be a fantastic fit, not only with the Murgitroyd
team but also with our values, aspirations and culture.
“He’s passionate about providing the best for clients, and
offering a level of service that’s second to none. He’s an
innovator and a problem solver, and that’s exactly what we look for
from our people.
“Similarly, Tom has been a valued member of our team for several
years, and has consistently shown that he has the drive, energy and
commitment to support our clients in every aspect of their business
with us. His promotion is well-deserved.
“These appointments confirm our commitment to building a team
that offers our clients the dedication, support and confidence they
need.”
