Vetaphone strengthens international sales team

The new appointments are Pete Kelly as area sales manager for Europe, Elena Plakhotnyk as area sales manager for Scandinavia, Central and Eastern Europe, and Finn Hinze, who joins as area sales and business development manager for Asia Pacific.

Vetaphone said growing its international sales team is intrinsic to its expansion program with the aim of a 25 percent increase in business in 2014, and part of a three-year and two million EUR investment program embarked upon by company owners Jan and Frank Eisby. 

With an 80 percent share of the corona business in the narrow web market, Vetaphone has also made the appointments in pursuit of growth of its wide web market share.

Kelly is an electronics engineer with 17 years of experience in international sales, while Elena Plakhotnyk brings 12 years of sales experience to her role. Hinze has added nearly three decades of experience to Vetaphone’s international sales team, including working with Nestlé across the world.

Vetaphone sales director Kevin McKell said: ‘With a significant growth in demand for Vetaphone products worldwide, we are delighted to add three experienced sales managers to our team.’
