Rockwell Automation appoints new South Pacific sales manager

Rockwell Automation has appointed Paul Ponticello as the Sales Operations and Industry Manager, South Pacific.

In this role, Paul will both drive and support the sales organisation in the areas of planning and execution, productivity and overall effectiveness. He will also have direct line responsibility for the South Pacific Industry teams that are not specifically aligned to a product or solutions business unit.

Ponticello has been working at Rockwell Automation for more than 20 years in various operational functions prior to moving into business unit general management roles. He brings deep knowledge and experience to his new role, displaying sound business acumen, as well as organisational, mentoring and coaching skills. The challenging global environment continues to drive industrial efficiency which in turn increases the demand for organisational information flow.  At present companies are exercising a degree of belt tightening and are placing the breaks on significant capital expenditure in favour of optimising existing assets.
