Hoshizaki Welcomes 2 New Directors

Hoshizaki America has appointed two new directors, enhancing its leadership team. Details include the following:

• Seth Sawyer has taken on the role of director of product management—refrigeration. Sawyer brings over 15 years of extensive product management experience, having held key roles at Char-Broil, Spectrum Brands and Masterbuilt. His background in engineering and product development, combined with a commitment to innovation and customer-focused solutions, positions him as a valuable addition to Hoshizaki’s leadership, a release says. Sawyer holds a degree in mechanical engineering from Georgia Tech and a product strategy certification from Kellogg Executive Education. His leadership is expected to enhance Hoshizaki’s product offerings and strengthen its position in the refrigeration market.
• Lori Northeim has become director of marketing. Northeim brings a wealth of experience in marketing, with a strong track record in brand strategy, product launches, e-commerce and market research. She holds an industrial design degree from Purdue University, an MBA from Otterbein University and a professional certified marketer certificate from the American Marketing Association. Hoshizaki says Northeim’s prior experience at Elmer’s Products and Fiskars Garden and Outdoor Living has equipped her with the skills to drive its marketing initiatives forward, making her an invaluable asset to the team.
