Las Vegas-based Visstun, Digispec and CounterPoint have hired industry veteran Mark Shea as National Accounts Manager.
Shea brings over 25 years of sales and marketing experience to Visstun, Digispec and CounterPoint. “With the recent departure of Brian Burka, due to the expiration of his work visa, Mark has some big shoes to fill!” said Paula Piano, director of sales and marketing. “During his time in the industry, Mark has been both a supplier and distributor and has worked and consulted for a number of industry companies,” added Piano. Shea has also served as a board member for Gold Coast Promotional Products Association (GCPPA).
“Having been both a distributor and supplier gives me tremendous insight into the complexity of the supplier-distributor relationship,” said Shea, national accounts manager. “I am looking forward to supporting our national account base with outstanding customer service and industry leading progressive marketing support.”
In his new role, Shea will be handling all national account activities for Visstun, Digispec and CounterPoint. He has a Bachelor of Arts and Masters of Science from Western Illinois University.
