March 25, 2014 – Schneider Electric’s Xantrex business says it has appointed William Tomkinson, along with four other sales personnel, as part of an “aggressive growth plan” to help focus on “continued growth from existing markets while pursuing new opportunities in North America and a strategy for global expansion”.

“Although we are all operating in challenging economic times, we firmly believe that the lifeline and health of any business is intrinsically tied to its people, product and how companies support their customers,” said Richard Gaudet, vice president of Xantrex. “This combination and our efforts in these areas, we believe, will propel long-term success for both Xantrex and the customers we serve.”

Formerly with Xantrex, William Tomkinson has returned as a strategic account manager, where he will manage key aftermarket and commercial distribution customers across North America from the company’s Burnaby, B.C., headquarters.
