Architectural LED lighting manufacturer Anolis has appointed Peer Oestergaard as Sales Director.
Peer will be managing and co-ordinating Anolis sales teams globally and ensuring that the brand continues to proactively build its profile, visibility and reputation for quality and innovative products and excellent service worldwide.
Anolis Director Tim Van den Eede stated, “We are delighted to have someone of Peer’s calibre and talent on-board. His personality, approach to business and smart outlook is the perfect match for us, and we share the same core visions for taking Anolis to the next level of operation”.
Based in the Czech Republic, all Anolis products are designed and produced in Europe. The brand is currently undergoing restructuring and positing itself for long term future expansion and the development of new and ground-breaking product lines.
Peer lives in Denmark and will be travelling extensively in his new role at Anolis.
He brings a wealth of experience and many skills to the Anolis team, having most recently co-ordinated complex international business for two other very well-known architectural / architainment lighting brands.
He has been a professional lighting practitioner since the late 1980s, and has always had a keen interest in architecture and the way dynamic lighting can transform and bring alive spaces, objects and environments – from art works to industrial, commercial and residential buildings – in all types of scenarios.
“I am lucky enough to have worked on lighting some truly landmark projects worldwide over the years” enthuses Peer, also admitting that, when young, he originally dreamed about being an architect … and then became fascinated by lighting!
So, he has been fortunate enough to become involved in architecture via another – different – equally creative and stimulating route!
Naturally, Peer also has extensive contacts. He wanted to bring these and his experience to Anolis for the “huge potential” he sees in the brand. “Anolis is already well established in certain areas, and has a name for outstanding quality and for thinking laterally to deliver practical custom requirements as needed”.
He is impressed by the energy and commitment of the Anolis team, and by the manufacturing facilities, infrastructure and process in place in the Czech Republic, plus the originality of the design and R‘n’D and the excellent technical support which is dedicated to finding immediate solutions.
Peer also has a knack for thinking out-of-the-box when needed and for seeking out and establishing new and imaginative business opportunities. His communication skills, knowledge and understanding of sophisticated, multi-layered projects and situations and ability to negotiate deftly and manage budgets of all sizes accordingly is another asset for Anolis.
“Anolis is a company of the future” he states, “and I am looking forward to being part of a very positive and long term journey” he affirmed.
Tim Van den Eede concluded, “We are hugely excited to welcome Peer and are all looking forward to a great collaboration and to him embracing the spirit and essence of our brand. This is the first of several important upcoming announcements for Anolis over the coming months”.
So … please watch this space!
