Mexico. Chauvet announced the appointment of Carlos Zamora de Martino as Managing Director of Chauvet Mexico. With extensive experience as a management and sales executive, he joins the Chauvet team in Mexico just as the first three years have passed since the U.S. company opened its first direct office in the country, where its professional lighting brands have been successfully distributed for 25 years.
"Since we opened Chauvet Mexico in 2013 to consolidate our leading position and improve service to our customers, we have experienced an even faster growth in demand for the products of all our brands: Chauvet DJ, Chauvet Professional, Iluminarc and Trusst," said Albert Chauvet, CEO of Chauvet. "We are now taking it a step further with the addition of a high-profile executive who will help us develop a more sophisticated project capable of serving the market in a more efficient way."
Carlos will lead a team of more than 20 employees, which in September opened a building with offices and larger warehouse areas, as well as a spectacular new showroom in Lerma, State of Mexico, a short distance from pulsating Mexico City.
"To be at the helm of Chauvet Mexico is a great honor," Carlos said. "We will work as a team with passion and enthusiasm in an environment of trust and integrity, and being even closer to our customers, because they are our reason for being, to them we owe ourselves. We have set ourselves high goals and I am completely sure that there will be nothing to stop us from reaching our goals."
Before joining the Chauvet Mexico team, he was General Manager and co-founder of Geo Lite LED Lighting, importer and distributor of LED technology lighting products. He previously held senior executive positions at Avon, Clorox de Mexico and Grupo Bimbo, among other companies.
Carlos will maintain close contact with Stéphane Gressier, Chauvet's International Sales Director based at the company's headquarters in the United States. "We are very excited about Carlos' arrival," Gressier said. "His leadership will strengthen our customer relationships as well as the enthusiasm of our Chauvet Mexico team. One of the main values on which Chauvet has based its global success is integrity, and this has been one of the virtues we have found in Carlos, in addition to his extensive professional experience."
