He has also been recognized with the highly-accredited GE President’s Club top sales award and leadership award as well as the Crescent President’s Club top profit leadership award.

Aligned with an effective and energized sales operation, Birks looks forward to working with the European teams to deliver compelling customer experiences and exciting growth rates.
Hill and Birks will report to Ralf Buehler, who takes on the role of Chief Sales Officer on Feb. 1 to lead the company’s global sales, marketing and e-commerce operations.
