PTC names Jamie Pappas divisional VP, APAC sales and distribution

PTC has announced that it has named Jamie Pappas as divisional vice-president of Asia Pacific Sales and Distribution.  In this role, Pappas will have strategic sales leadership and general management oversight responsibilities for PTC’s operations across Asia, including the company’s facilities in China, India, Korea, and Taiwan.  Pappas will be based at PTC’s Asia Pacific headquarters in Shanghai, China.

“Jamie is an experienced and trusted PTC sales executive, bringing 20 years of PTC sales experience and accomplishment to his new role,” said Robert Ranaldi, PTC’s executive vice-president of Worldwide Sales and Distribution. “He has proven ability in delivering value to customers as well as working cross functionally across PTC’s business units around the world.  Additionally, he has established solid relationships with field sales leadership that he will leverage as he leads PTC’s Asia Pacific region.”

Pappas joined PTC in 1994, and has since served in a variety of positions of increasing responsibility within the company’s sales organization.  Most recently, he has had the responsibility for worldwide Retail, Footwear and Apparel (RFA) revenue, customers, and partners – during which time, the company says, he increased sales in this category by over 300 percent.  PTC is now a global leader in the Retail PLM market.

“The global manufacturing industry is transforming, and PTC is enabling customers to navigate that transformation with strong technology, customer focus and partner ecosystem,” said Pappas. “I look forward to leading the Asia Pacific team at this exciting time and am committed to working closely with our customers, employees, and partners to drive ongoing growth and helping them achieve sustained product and service advantage.”

Prior to joining PTC, Pappas held a sales management position at Marion Merrell Dow.  He attended the Harvard Business School Extension Program and holds a Bachelor’s Degree from Stonehill College.
