Gerhard Lipski First Westerner Appointed to Board of Directors for Zuken Inc
Zuken has announced Gerhard Lipski as the first Western member of the company's corporate board of directors. This appointment is in recognition of the growing global importance of Zuken's Western market, which under the leadership of Mr Lipski, has seen revenue rise by a massive 41 percent during the last three years.
Over recent years, Zuken's market share in Europe and America has taken a sharp increase and the turnover from this geographical region now represents a significant proportion of the company's total global revenue, as well as the biggest opportunity for continued growth.
Zuken's Chief Operating Officer, Mr. Jinya Katsube comments, "Gerhard Lipski offers a wealth of experience and a true connection to the Western market that, at the highest level, will enable Zuken's global direction and strategy to further reflect the requirements of customers in this region. We look forward to what the future holds as Zuken becomes a truly globally driven organization."
Gerhard Lipski initially joined Zuken in January 1997 as a sales manager for the central European region. Following his success in this role, in 2003 he was promoted to become the European General Manager, and soon after he also became the President and Chief Executive Officer for Zuken Americas. Going forward, Mr Lipski will assume his new position on the corporate board and continue in his role as European General Manager and President and CEO for the Americas.
