These years enabled the new KBA sales director to build up a strong technical and market background, earning him countless valuable contacts and an excellent name with his many customers. In addition, his undisputed experience in key account management and team leadership will stand him in good stead for his new duties. Alexander Huttenlocher is married with two children.
