Klaas Kortegast appointed Vice President Sales & Marketing at CARLISLE® CM Europe

The 38-year-old German is familiar with the building materials industry. Before this, he held various senior positions within Rheinzink in Germany. For example, as a member of the Executive Board, he was responsible for Sales & Marketing, among other things, worldwide. 

In addition, he has gained many years of experience in the strategic design of sales and marketing processes at national and international level. The accompanying transformation processes and the resulting strategy development fit well with the CARLISLE® company, which is currently in the midst of such a transformation process.

As Vice President Sales & Marketing for CCM Europe, Klaas Kortegast will be responsible for realigning CARLISLE®'s European sales and marketing, expanding and optimizing the existing structures and thus making a significant contribution to the achievement of CARLISLE® Vision 2025 business goals.

"We are delighted to have Klaas Kortegast, an experienced sales strategist and marketing professional who, in addition to the broad expertise he brings to these important areas, also personally meets all the requirements to guide CARLISLE® on its further growth path," explains Georg Harrasser, President CARLISLE® CM Europe.

Klaas Kortegast is also looking forward to his role within CARLISLE® CM Europe: "CARLISLE®'s Vision 2025 and its growth plans appeal to me greatly. The market environment will change significantly in the coming years. Precisely those companies that have a clear customer focus will excel with a well thought-out strategy. Being in direct proximity to customers with an understanding of their wishes, needs and expectations and delivering high-quality products and systems are important success factors for the future in this regard. Here I see huge potential for CARLISLE® CM Europe to create new standards and assert itself in the highly competitive environment across Europe ".
