kraftwerk living technologies new management structure

Austrian audio-visual system integrator, Kraftwerk Living Technologies, has announced a new management structure in response to a period of unprecedented growth.

Kevin Murphy has been appointed Director of Sales & Marketing, while Alex Sanfilippo takes on the role of Director of Engineering.

According to Kraftwerk LT, this will free up Managing Partners, Manfred Meier and Christian Hofer,Ā to concentrate on the company’s strategic vision, global activities and business development. They will also be on hand to steer and support the management team.

Murphy hails from the UK and boasts a wealth of industry experience. He joined Kraftwerk LT in 2016 as VP of Strategic Planning. Going forward, he will be taking on the majority of Meierā€™s sales and marketing portfolio, leading the respective teams.

Prior to his new executive role, Sanfilippo was Kraftwerk LT’s Head of Implementation and Service. He has been tasked with focusing on strengthening the larger design and technical teams. He will be bringing his implementation know-how to bear on managing and developing processes, team members, support structures, resource planning and communications within this group.

The restructure aims to strengthen delivery of global projects, as well laying the foundation for what the company describes as a future-oriented business approach.
