ITL recruit new Business Development Manager for South America

Innovative Technology (ITL) have recently recruited Augusto de Andrade as Business Development Manager to assist with expanding its cash validation and facial recognition offerings throughout Brazil and other emerging regions within South America.  Augusto will be responsible exclusively for ITL’s retail, kiosk and banking (RKB) customers.

Welcoming Augusto to the organisation, Mustapha Hadj-Ahmed, ITL Sales Director said, “Augusto will be involved in a wide range of sales activities, from formulating and executing a sales and business strategy targeted at his dedicated territory, identifying sales opportunities, generating and following up leads, visiting existing and new customers to secure additional business, grow our customer base and increase market share in the region. He will also support and offer technical assistance to local trading partners and attend trade shows and exhibitions around South America. Augusto will be working closely with Fernando, our local General Manager in Brazil, who has been with ITL for a long time, and is therefore ideally placed to give him the best possible introduction.”

Commenting on his new role, Augusto said, “I am looking forward to helping the customer base in my region and expanding our market share, initially in Brazil and then the rest of South America. I have over 6 years’ experience, 4 of which was in a technical sales role in the engineering industry. Also, I have worked with the Brazilian, European, North and Latin American markets applying both technical and sales skills. I am excited to bring this experience to ITL to truly understand customers’ needs to ensure they achieve the best possible solution for their projects. I am eager to start interacting with the existing and new customer base to map their needs and fulfil their expectations.”

Concluding Mustapha said, “Using his established technical expertise and sales capabilities, I am looking forward to seeing Augusto focus his efforts on our retail clients to make their success our business. I am excited to see how our business in Brazil and South America will develop in this ever-changing and growing region.”
