CH – After five years as Co-Director and Chief Sales & Marketing Officer, Dr. Eckhard Sohns is leaving the writing instrument specialists, Pagani Pens, at the end of March 2023 due to personal reasons. As a result, the administrative board has reorganised the management team of the company: At executive management level Rossana Porotti, who already occupies the post of Co-Director, will be supported in future by Alessio Marotta, who in addition to his position as CFO is also taking over the role of Co-Director on the board. In his capacity as Chief Commercial Officer, Tom de Kleyn has taken over the overall responsibility for the sales and marketing of the Writing Instruments business unit with the brands Prodir and Pigra. He also continues to be the Managing Director of the Prodir subsidiary in the Netherlands. In addition to his role as Sales Director of Prodir GmbH, in future Florian Seidenberg will also manage the German subsidiary together with Rossana Porotti.
In a statement, Giorgio Pagani, founder of Pagani Pens and President of the administrative board, thanked Sohns and emphasised the continuity of the management: “In his long-standing, trusting cooperation Eckhard Sohns has significantly contributed towards the success of the brand Prodir at many levels. We are extremely grateful to him for his extraordinary commitment and wish him all the best for the future. With the new management team we are relying on continuity. Rossana Porotti, Alessio Marotta, Tom de Kleyn and Florian Seidenberg are experienced employees with proven industry expertise, who have already been able to demonstrate their strong management skills in various functions within the company. The administrative board is convinced that they will successfully lead Pagani Pens into the next development phase in a continued, very dynamic environment.”
