The exclusive global provider of Philips digital signage, interactive displays,
direct view LED and professional TV products and solutions is welcoming a new Commercial VP for North America.
Taking the position is Nick Begleries, and PPDS says he will play “a crucial role” in its accelerating phase of growth in the U.S., “with the target of achieving the business’ ambitions to achieve a top three position in the North American marketplace.”
Begleries will be responsible for all aspects of PPDS’ North American business. This includes, but is not limited to, defining the mid- and long-term sales strategy for North America, setting and achieving quarterly sales targets, managing the supply chain, service
and post-sales, and driving greater awareness of the PPDS brand and its solutions.
Education, retail, hospitality, corporate, healthcare and transportation are among focus markets, with Philips Professional TVs, Interactive Displays, dvLED, Digital Signage and the company’s exclusive remote display management cloud platform, Wave, all key product categories.
Begleries will also oversee the company’s move into a new U.S. head office and globally connected showroom, as well as executing plans to increase staff numbers by 50% in 2023 in order to better support customers and enlarge reach across all verticals, leveraging on PPDS’ extensive product portfolio.
Begleries, who is based in Portland, Ore., has previously worked at Samsung Electronics America as Director of Pro A/V Channel Sales; at Planar Systems in a similar role; and began his career in 1994 at Beaverton-based New Horizons Computer Learning Centers as a senior Account Executive.
