CommScope reorganizes customer segment management/New leadership in place at Berk-Tek
Cabling and communications systems supplier CommScope, Inc. has reorganized its business unit management structure around three customer segments—enterprise, wireless and broadband— and appointed heads for each.
Kevin St. Cyr has joined CommScope as senior vice president, Enterprise Solutions, where he will lead engineering, R&D, and product line management. St. Cyr comes to CommScope from Berk-Tek, a Nexans company, at which he had been president since 1998.
“Kevin is the perfect choice to head our Enterprise segment,” said Randy Crenshaw, chief operating officer, CommScope. “He is widely known within this market for his expertise, success, and leadership capabilities. I welcome Kevin to CommScope and look forward to the positive impact he will make on our team and the customers we serve.”
St. Cyr replaces Morgan Kurk, who moves from the top of CommScope’s Enterprise segment to become senior vice president, Wireless. He will have responsibility for product line management, engineering and R&D for the segment that serves wireless operators and OEMs globally.
Ric Johnsen will continue as senior vice president, Broadband, leading the business responsible for serving cable multisystem operators and other broadband network providers around the world. CommScope’s offerings in this area include RF over glass (RFoG) equipment.
“By reorganizing our management support structure around key verticals—at home, at work, and on the go—we can best leverage CommScope’s deep, broad capabilities around the world and deliver better integrated solutions to our customers,” said Crenshaw. “Ric, Morgan, and Kevin are three strong leaders who will help us build upon CommScope’s excellent market positions and take advantage of the many opportunities ahead of us.”
There’s a new look at the top of the executive roster at Berk-Tek, a Nexans Company. Paul Trunk has stepped into the president slot from his previous role as senior vice president of sales and marketing at the fiber and copper cabling supplier. Phil Radics will assume Trunk’s former sales responsibilities with the title of vice president of sales.
Trunk becomes responsible for sales and marketing, operations, research and development, human resources, finance, and IT functions for the North America LAN division, including both the New Holland, PA, and Fuquay-Varina, NC, sites. He has 15 years of experience with the company already, during which he formed the NetClear alliance and developed the company’s OEM and national account programs.
Radics, meanwhile, becomes responsible for the direction and management of sales and business development operations within LAN, telecom, and new markets. Radics has been with Berk-Tek for 14 years, most recently as director of new business development.
“Phil has been a major contributor to Berk-Tek sales and product initiatives, such as pre-terminated fiber-optic cable assemblies, alliance and contractor warranty programs, OEM sales, and LAN global harmonization,” said Trunk. “Phil is uniquely qualified to lead the company in achieving its revenue targets, profit and strategic objectives.”
An announcement regarding who will take on Trunk’s previous marketing management duties has not yet been made.
