Jorma Mannerkoski appointed Director of Eaton’s Power Quality division, EMEA

Following the significant number of acquisitions in Eaton’s Power Quality division, a management reorganisation was launched in March 2008 to leverage the company’s combined capabilities more effectively.

Brian Brickhouse has been appointed to the new position of Vice President, Global Sales, Service and Customer Support. Following Brian’s appointment, Jorma Mannerkoski has been appointed as Director of Eaton’s Power Quality division in EMEA, the role previously held by Brian. He is responsible for the sales, services and marketing of all Eaton’s power quality and distribution products and solutions in EMEA, including UPSs, ePDUs and DC systems.

“My first task is to create a coherent company after the acquisitions. The systematic thinking and large investments in building a truly global business form an excellent foundation for serving our customers better,” says Mannerkoski.

Having been introduced to Eaton through an acquisition four years ago, Mannerkoski is familiar with business integration. His history with uninterruptible power supply dates back to the beginning of the 90s. Mannerkoski moves to the new position from leading Powerware sales in Northern and Eastern Europe. He will report to his predecessor, Brian Brickhouse.

“Jorma has done an outstanding job over the past four years leading the Nordic region including Scandinavian and Eastern European countries. He has shown great strategic skills, sales acumen, and leadership ability. As we work to complete our EMEA integrations and grow our already significant presence in EMEA, Jorma will be a great asset. I have complete confidence that Jorma will lead EMEA to great success,” says Brickhouse.
