"The addition of sales oversight to Michael's responsibilities is the next logical step forward in the evolution of the Group's strategy to strengthen the average customer's interaction with our brands," Augsburger said . "In the one year he has served as executive vice president of marketing, Michael has demonstrated his ability to develop successful Group-wide marketing programmes that are exceeding our customers' demands for more integrated, multi-brand product solutions. In his new position, Michael will bring the same expertise and leadership to Group-level sales."
