Determined to be a leader in the recovery, Integrated Optical Services (IOS) appointed Hideo Kido, an executive with Fortune 500 experience, as their Director of Sales. Kido will spearhead efforts to infiltrate emerging industries, creating new revenue streams.
Santa Clara, CA, July 24, 2009 --(PR.com)-- According to a recent article in the San Jose Mercury News, technology companies in Silicon Valley will help “drive the way out of the recession as they surpass the broader stock market” in the first half of 2010.1
Determined to be a leader in the recovery, Integrated Optical Services (IOS) appointed Hideo Kido, an executive with Fortune 500 experience, as their Director of Sales. Kido will spearhead efforts to infiltrate emerging industries, creating new revenue streams.
Previously Kido was Vice President of Brother International where over an 8 year period he built a $100 million sales organization that continues to function today. In his new role, IOS has tasked Kido with becoming the premium supplier of precision optical components and increasing their presence in the following industries: semiconductor, test & measurement, defense, medical, biomedical and laser.
Entering the company at a pivotal point, Kido will be critical to the alliance of IOS’s years of technical expertise for leading high tech clients. He has worked with established high technology companies such as: Alpine Fuji TV, G-tech for Hitachi and Konami Digital Entertainment as well as established business with companies such as: Allstate, American Airlines, Ford and Graybar Electric.
“It has been a momentous year at IOS. The impetus began with our acquisition of Heussner Optics Inc.2 and the drive continues with the appointment of veteran sales executive Hideo Kido,” said COO Derek Fitzpatrick, “Kido spent his entire career working with some of the best brands in the world and developed the strategies which made them successful. His addition will propel IOS as we enter the next growth period.”
“Twenty months into the economic downturn, IOS is demonstrating ingenuity while other firms are focused on process, cost reduction and sales survival. On the contrary, in the past four months IOS has hired seasoned executives, acquired market share, made strategic connections and positioned themselves as the ‘go-to’ supplier for optical components,” remarked Juliette Donohue, Business Coach with ActionCOACH. “As a business coach, I work with hundreds of businesses each year to position them for growth, IOS has clearly addressed all areas and is poised to leapfrog their competitors.”
