GatesAir Expands North America Sales Team
Technical sales veteran Avery Schultz joins over-the-air TV and radio leader in new Regional Sales Manager role
Cincinnati, OH, November 01, 2017
GatesAir, a global leader in wireless, over-the-air content delivery solutions for radio and TV broadcasters, continues to grow its global sales team with the appointment of Avery Schultz as Regional Sales Manager for New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas. Based in Dallas, Schultz’s depth of technical experience and strength in building customer relationships bolsters GatesAir’s North American sales team at a pivotal time of transformation for the U.S broadcast industry. She will report to Mark Goins, GatesAir’s Director of Transmission Sales in North America.
New to the broadcast industry, Schultz’s sales and engineering background well-positions her for success in an industry where business and technology truly come together. In her previous position as Outside Sales Account Manager at IMI Critical Engineering, she spent more than five years managing outside sales, field service and repairs for more than 70 companies in the energy and utility industries. In addition to significantly exceeding multi-million revenue targets for three years straight, Schultz developed and implemented ongoing cost-savings programs for clients. Prior to IMI, Schultz served a similar role at Emerson Process Management in Houston, where she managed outside sales of measurement technologies (pressure, temperature, and flow transmitters) to oil and gas companies, and led cross-functional collaboration initiatives to improve customer relationships.
Collectively, Schultz’s experience in high technology sales, strategic customer relations and cost reduction programs offer an ideal convergence of talents for success in an industry faced with challenging transitions, tight deadlines, and evolving efficiency requirements.
“With our TV customers navigating a challenging repack landscape and our radio customers exploring options for new analog and digital services, Avery’s expertise across business and technology is a welcome enhancement to GatesAir’s talented sales force,” said Joseph Mack, vice president of sales, Americas for GatesAir. “Furthermore, Avery’s experience in reducing operational costs for customers will strongly resonate with all of our broadcast customers that seek to reduce energy consumption, cooling loads, system maintenance, and other costs associated with powering RF operations.”
Schultz notes that her passion for, and experience with, technology and engineering injects a sense of excitement to her new role, which she believes goes a long way in building strong sales relationships.
“There is a significant amount of change happening in this industry, and technology never ceases to move forward,” said Schultz. “I look forward to communicating how GatesAir can help broadcasters add services, enhance performance and save money as we work to address the challenges of our customers.”
