CINCINNATI—GatesAir has promoted Mark Goins to vice president of North American sales.

This follows the recent announcement that Joe Mack has taken the new role of chief revenue officer and that Rich Redmond has left the company. Goins reports to Mack, who in turn answers to CEO Bruce Swail.

“Mark will lead an experienced team of North American representatives across regional sales management, key accounts and inside sales, and work with GatesAir executives to develop annual strategic initiatives for improved growth and support,” the company stated in an announcement.

Goins joined GatesAir predecessor Harris Corp. 19 years ago.

“He has gradually worked his way up the ladder, beginning with an inside sales position and becoming senior director, North America sales upon transitioning to the GatesAir team,” it stated.

“In between, he served as strategic account manager and regional sales manager, which provides him the diverse experience required to successfully lead the current North American sales team.”

It said areas of focus for Goins will include NextGen TV, HD Radio adoption, single-frequency networks (SFNs) and also GatesAir’s Intraplex range, “as business models and networking opportunities expand with the Audio over IP transition.”
