mk Welcomes New Sales & Business Development Manager

mk North America is proud to announce that Todd St. Pierre has joined the team as the new Sales & Business Development Manager. His acquisition brings over 15 years of experience that will contribute to the growth and advancement of mk North America.

Having attended Worcester Polytechnic Institute, St. Pierre brings with him a strong and substantial mechanical engineering education. He also has a prodigious and extensive sales background as well. He became inside sales manager at Wittman-Battenfeld in 1997, where he managed and guided the entire US territory and was a guiding force that contributed to the greatest sales growth in the company's history.

Since then, he has been an integral part of developing and expanding sales at every company that he has worked for. Including ARBURG, where he eclipsed each year's sales objective by over 10 percent, and at TEC Engineering Corporation, where he doubled their sales before he left the company to come to mk North America. His other strong capabilities include the ability to develop, mentor, and nurture personnel, follow-up on leads and close deals, making him a great asset for mk North America.

"I am excited about the opportunities that lie ahead for mk and myself." St. Pierre tells us. "We have ambitious goals for the next five years, and I am confident we will meet those goals with the assistance of our talented and enthusiastic staff along with our vast product offering."

The President of mk North America, Andreas Haussmann, is also excited about the hiring of St. Pierre, as he relays in a company-wide email, "We are excited about Todd’s expertise, industry knowledge, and enthusiasm and are confident you will enjoy working with him as well."

This will also give mk an incredible and immense source of talent when it comes to project management, customer acquisition, and sales retention. He also informs us he is very goal-oriented and has an extraordinary drive to push through obstacles that can happen in business.

Not only is St. Pierre a great asset for mk North America on a professional level, but also on a personal level. He is an exceptionally family oriented individual with a wife and four children. He also has a great appreciation and admiration for all things sports related, including playing basketball, golf, and watching a lot of football. He also enjoys a good glass of wine or scotch every once in a while. His authenticity and personable and highly relatable qualities help make him a valued contributor to mk North Americas' company culture.

Fulfilling many of the qualities that mk North America looks for in a new employee, St. Pierre is goal-oriented, family focused and highly motivated with a strong desire to make mk the best company it can be going forward. This incredible combination of talent and momentum leads mk North America into an exciting future.
