Nu Horizons Electronics has appointed Phil Gee as VP Sales Europe, effective October 1st. Gee, who was previously European Director Global EMS at Future Electronics, takes responsibility for the distributor’s sales operations in the UK, Germany and Austria. Nu Horizons entered the European market in August 2006 with the acquisition of Coventry based DT Electronics and opened sales offices in Munich and Vienna earlier this year.

Phil Gee spent 13 years at Future Electronics, starting his career as an account executive in 1994. He progressed through a number of management positions to his most recent role, in which he was responsible for sales at global contract manufacturers based in Europe.

Dave Bowers, President of Nu Horizons’ Distribution Division said, “We’re delighted that Phil is joining our team as we continue our rapid expansion throughout Europe. He brings a wealth of directly relevant, senior management experience to the business and his knowledge of the electronics manufacturing services sector will be invaluable, as this is an increasingly important sector for us.”

Phil Gee added, “Nu Horizons is the most dynamic distributor to enter the European market in many years. It has a proven, design-led approach to business development and is attracting new customers and new franchises faster than any other global distributor. It’s going to be both challenging and exciting to help drive the company forward as Europe’s leading demand-creation distributor.”
