Harman Professional announces the appointment of Sergey Trotskiy as director of business development for Russia and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS).

"I am here to help realize management's vision to unlock the potential of Harman's Professional Division brands in the Russia and CIS markets," Trotskiy said. "These brands bring tremendous value in terms of performance, integration, and quality build that will, in turn, impact the business performance of our distribution partners and ultimately the efficiency and effectiveness with which their customers -- our end users --deploy Harman technologies."

Trotskiy is a graduate of St. Petersburg University of Cinema And Television and has served in project management and business leadership positions with AFW Virtschaftsakademie, Bad Harzburg, Bose Professional Systems, and at his own systems integration and automation company that he founded. He joined Harman on December 12, and reports to Evgeny Konov, country manager Harman Russia and CIS.

Commenting on the appointment Konov noted, "When we began our initiative to better serve the Russia and CIS markets, we committed to listen to our distributors, to learn from them as partners and to put the resources at their disposal to serve more customers with Harman Professional system solutions. The appointment of Sergey Trotskiy -- coupled with several other product and organizational moves we're making - demonstrates Harman's determination to meet this commitment. We welcome Sergey to our team and look forward to his contribution in the future."
