Two senior team members have been appointed to new roles at TREND Networks, the leading global manufacturer of cable and network test equipment.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dan Barrera, formerly Global Product Manager with TREND Networks has been appointed into the newly created role of Director of Product Innovation. Tim Widdershoven, who has been with the company for 8 years and was most recently Marketing Director, has become International Sales Director. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cInstead of doing what everyone else is, we\u2019re looking ahead to develop products with the features and functionalities that our customers may not even realise they need yet,\u201d explains Dan Barrera, who has 25 years\u2019 experience with TREND Networks and is also a member of the ISO and TIA standards committees. \u201cIn my new position, I\u2019ll have a strong focus on our product roadmap and on finding new ways to meet our customers\u2019 requirements while providing better value.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US-based Dan will lead a team of product managers at TREND Networks to continue to bring customer research into product innovation and develop new solutions. He will also work closely with the commercial team to help ensure products remain competitive, including defining special promotions, bundles, and kits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alongside this, Tim Widdershoven will now lead a team of International sales managers, with a goal of growing TREND Networks\u2019 business in markets outside of North America and the DACH (Germany, Austria, Switzerland) region.  This includes supporting customers with events, training, demonstrations, trials, and onboarding, as well as close cooperation with distribution partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI have the benefit of seeing the business from the marketing point of view, and the sales angle, which really helps me understand our customers\u2019 perspectives and provide exactly what they need,\u201d Tim says. \u201cSince starting the role in September, it\u2019s been great to spend time with so many customers in the field, demonstrating some of our focus products, such as LanTEK IV-S, SignalTEK 10G, and the FiberMASTER series.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tim has a particular focus on growing the home market for TREND Networks in the UK. The company is headquartered in High Wycombe, including research & development, distribution, and customer services departments. It is also currently recruiting a UK sales manager, in order to extend its team and support expansion in the UK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his new role, he continues to work closely with the marketing team. Abbi Norman, who has been with TREND Networks for three years, is now Global Marketing and Communications Manager. With her team, she is focused on supporting product launches, digital marketing, social media, and working closely with local sales teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
