Tripp Lite elevates Darwin Haines as its new senior vice president of International Business from his current position as Vice President of Sales for EMEA and Asia.
Haines joined Trpp Lite in 2008 as vice president of International Business Development and was promoted to vice president of Sales for EMEA and Asia. Thanks to his success in these regions, he will now take on management responsibility of all Tripp Lite’s International Sales territories, which also include Mexico, Latin America and Canada.
Haines will fill the shoes of Bill DeCicco, the current executive vice president of International Business, who has announced his plans to retire at the end of this year.
“Our strategic aim for Tripp Lite’s international business is to steadily grow over time by maintaining a sharp focus on key markets and business development priorities, backed by a high level of customer support. In leading the broader global effort, I intend to leverage Tripp Lite’s existing international resources, which include strong regional leadership, local offices and training centres, experienced sales and technical teams and a strong network of loyal partners,” Haines said. “I am honoured by the new appointment and look forward to working with our global partners to expand Tripp Lite’s international presence.”
Haines has nearly 20 years of International Business experience and over 10 years of experience in the technology industry, working with major companies such as Motorola, Actuant and IDEX Corporation. He holds a degree in Engineering and Economics from the U.S. Military Academy and an MBA from the University Of Chicago Booth School Of Business.
