Chris Van Elslander has joined Leyard and Planar as Vice President of Sales – EMEA.

He joins from Barco, who cannot have many LED people left these days, where he was (also) Vice President of Sales for EMEA.

He’s a highly accomplished sales executive with deep knowledge of the AV market, wide experience in managing large sales teams, and with focus on generating profitable business while cultivating relationships with customers and partners.

Leyard and Planar EMEA also announced this week that Christian Orcin, who previously held the responsibility as Vice President of Sales for EMEA, is taking a new role of Vice President of Product Marketing for EMEA.

Marco Bruines, CEO of Leyard and Planar EMEA told us “We are pleased to welcome Chris to Leyard and Planar EMEA and to congratulate Christian to his new role. Both individuals bring their proven track records of successful business leadership and strong customer focus. Strengthening sales and product marketing in EMEA management is part of our long-term strategy for expansion in EMEA, and will bring better EMEA-specific solutions for our customers in the region,”
