Leviton Manufacturing Company, a 102-year-old family-owned business and a leading name in electrical devices, has appointed Ramzi Nassif to spearhead the company’s expansion into the Middle East.

As managing director for Middle East Sales, Nassif will be based in Dubai and spearhead sales of the company’s line of residential, commercial and industrial products throughout the Middle East, India, Turkey and Egypt.

Leviton, which is North America’s leading producer of electrical and electronic products, also has over twenty years of leadership experience in the commercial networking and structured cabling industry.

It supplies everything from high-density copper and fiber solutions for telecommunications rooms and data centers to every type of connector and wall plate for the workstation.

Nassif brings a formidable background in strategic planning and multi-national sales to his new position.
Prior to joining Leviton, he enjoyed a decade-long career with 3M Gulf, Ltd., where he quickly grew sales of the company’s electrical and telecom solutions and distinguished himself as a consistent high performer.

Starting out as a sales engineer, he later assumed positions as team leader, marketing executive, regional sales manager and most recently, as country business leader for the company. He also earned numerous performance distinctions, including awards for best division and best marketing plan.
 
'We couldn’t be more pleased to have a professional of Ramzi’s background join our International Group to lead us in this exciting strategic venture,' said Bruno Filio, vice president of International Business Development.
