Three regional distributor directors will be appointed from March 1st, with each position responsible for leading distributor business across the four brands – Cannondale, GT, Schwinn and Mongoose – in Asia Pacific, Europe, Middle East and Africa, and Latin America. Finally, from April 1st three regional sales co-ordinators will be recruited for supporting business across the four brands and regions as above.President of CSG International, Jeff McGuane, said: “The increasingly competitive nature of global markets today requires that we continuously question our business assumptions and operating models. “We are confident that these changes will fuel significant growth and help us secure clear market leadership in the years ahead.”
