Textile industry technology provider Lectra has announced the appointment of Roy Shurling as president of its business in North America. Based in Atlanta, Georgia, and reporting directly to chief executive, Daniel Harari, Mr Shurling will assume responsibility for all Lectra business in the United States, Canada, Mexico, and the Caribbean. Although the announcement came at the end of October, Lectra has revealed that it made this appointment on August 1, following a decision to change leadership in North America to address both internal challenges and those resulting from the economic conditions.
With more than 2,500 customers, North America revenues in 2007 were close to $50 million, representing 16% of Lectra’s world revenues. The technology provider currently employs 150 people in New York City, Atlanta, Los Angeles, Montreal, and Mexico City.
A Lectra veteran, Roy Shurling has had a successful track record of producing revenue growth and advancing business development while holding several positions of increasing responsibility for over 20 years in the Lectra group.
