ProGlove, a global provider of wearable scanner solutions, has appointed Charles Jackson to the role Head of North America to execute on the company’s growth strategy in the North American market, the company, whose global headquarters is in Germany.
Jackson was selected to run the North American market due to his deep sector expertise and proven track record in driving strategic market development, ProGlove noted. In his new role, he will lead the charge in expanding ProGlove’s North American footprint, with a focus on commercializing ProGlove’s data capabilities and a roadmap to drive customer productivity, safety and health use cases.
Jackson, who has relocated from Atlanta to Chicago to take up the role, has previously held various leadership roles, and successfully established footholds in the US market and the broader Americas region for organizations. He was most recently at Pricer Inc. where he grew the business’s sales from $3 million to over $100 million annually, serving retail, manufacturing, and logistics with scalable high-speed wireless displays. He also specializes in complex sales that integrate cutting-edge hardware, cloud-based management SaaS, and scaled deployments, ProGlove added.
ProGlove noted that the Americas, with its vast geographic size, thriving logistics and supply chain ripe for modernization, offers significant growth potential for industrial wearables. According to a recent survey by ProGlove, 46% of US warehouse and logistics executives plan to invest in industrial wearables in the next five years, compared to 40% in the rest of the world. ProGlove is well-positioned to capitalize on this momentum, the company added, having already established partnerships with major American automakers including The Big Three, and leading industry players including Staples Inc., GAP, and DHL.
“Charles has demonstrated exceptional leadership throughout his career and an outstanding ability to drive significant growth,” said Stefan Lampa, CEO of ProGlove. “With a notable track record, deep logistics and warehouse sector expertise, and extensive experience leading teams to success, Charles is well-prepared to help us expand our reach and enhance our impact in the Americas. His commitment to team building and strategic innovation aligns perfectly with our goals at ProGlove.”
Jackson added, “ProGlove has single-handedly changed the face of warehousing and logistics with its technology. It has already experienced impressive growth in the Americas and has, as a company, evolved far beyond a sophisticated scan device. Today, the organization encompasses an extensive suite of hardware and software solutions, delivering critical actionable insights for businesses across sectors.
“We've only scratched the surface of what's possible here and with rapid industry evolution, the future will extend far beyond wearables,” Jackson continued. “I’m excited to be joining ProGlove as we embark on this journey to solidify our dominance in the North American market, and to unveil more groundbreaking innovation in the year ahead.”
