Sean Walters becomes new Managing Director of Captron North America
Captron appoints Sean Walters as General Manager North America from August 2022.
The service provider for software solutions and process consulting for intralogistics Captron is planning to relocate to Charlotte, North Carolina, in 2023 and is appointing Sean Walters as manager. Walters has around 20 years of experience in sales and business development. His most recent position was at Emerson Electric. At Captron North America, Walters will focus on customer centricity and supply chain resilience. The aim is to better serve regional and global customers and strengthen the company's international position.
"A leadership position like this is not defined by a title - it means responsibility towards the company and its employees, which you have to earn every day," says Walters. His goal is therefore to build the North American Captron organization through teamwork, employee empowerment and a servant leadership style characterized by honesty, transparency and a constructive error culture.
