ChargePoint Technology has appointed two new area managers to support the increased demand for its containment technologies and solutions throughout the US.

Following the appointment of Chris Rombach as president of ChargePoint Inc in 2017 and the opening of the company’s second US office in San Francisco, ChargePoint has experienced rapid growth across North America, with the region now accounting for over 35% of total sales.

Tyler Courtney and Silke Grainger have joined the team as the Midwest and Western area managers respectively, giving ChargePoint Technology dedicated coverage across all states within the US. As well as forming part of ChargePoint’s US growth strategy, the new appointments enable the business to serve its existing customer base more efficiently at a local level.

Chris Rombach, president of ChargePoint Inc said, “Growing our North American presence has sat at the core of our strategic vision over the last twelve months. We have experienced a growing demand for our containment strategies in the US, as well our unique AfterCare^TM service, particularly as the ‘biotech boom’ continues. Both Tyler and Silke have been appointed from large pharmaceutical operations, giving them a unique view from the customer perspective and a detailed understanding of the challenges faced across the industry. We are already seeing the benefits of their customer backgrounds, as it helps narrow the gap between service provider and end-user, allowing our product range and ongoing support to flourish within the region.”

Previously working as a senior scientist at MilliporeSigma, Tyler has a wealth of experience implementing ChargePoint Technology’s products and seeing their benefits in action, while Silke brings over 10 years of sales experience within the life science and pharmaceutical space.
