NEC Display Solutions takes on former Verrex sales exec

Appointment of Craig McQueen to help expand regional sales

NEC Display Solutions has hired Verrex sales executive Craig McQueen as corporate account manager for key accounts and new business in London and the south.

Guy Phelps, corporate sales manager at NEC Display Solutions, said McQueen has appropriate experience in audiovisual integration, including in system design and engineering as well as sales.

"We continue to support our channel partners' project business through engagement with the end user," claimed Phelps. "Sound technical product knowledge enables them to match the correct product to the client's needs and to recommend the services of complementary solution providers."

NEC is attempting to take a "more consultative" approach to the market, according to a statement from the vendor.

Before moving to conferencing specialist Verrex in 2011, McQueen spent 4.5 years as sales manager at integrator Reflex. Previously, he was at True Colours Distribution, working as a digital signage product manager, and prior to that at Asysco. He entered the industry about 16 years ago, according to NEC, as an installation engineer for Reflex.

McQueen said in a statement that he is looking forward to promoting whole offerings instead of just boxes.
