Swisslog, leading provider of best-in-class warehouse automation and software, has announced Bill Stenger as the company’s new head of sales for the Americas region. In this position he will be leading Swisslog’s integrated solutions team and its AutoStore sales group.
Bill brings a wealth of perspective and knowledge to Swisslog with nearly 15 years' experience in the material handling industry. Before joining Swisslog, he served as the vice president of sales consulting at KNAPP, where he developed and led an effective business development initiative that established channel-specific messaging and strategies. Prior to this role, he served as sales director for food solutions, leading commercial efforts for micro-fulfillment center (MFC) go to market strategies in collaboration with Takeoff Technologies, as well as the delivery of KNAPP's first-ever fully robotized store replenishment solution deployed for The Kroger Company.
Before his nearly eight years at KNAPP, he served in numerous sales manager roles at Vanderlande, across the customer service, warehouse and parcel business units working with such customers as Amazon and DHL. Additionally, Bill actively serves as vice executive director of the MHI Solutions Community, an important industry association, in which Swisslog is a member.
