RAYMOND, Maine—Dielectric has appointed industry veteran Michael Sharpstene as national sales manager effective immediately. He will report to vice president of sales Jay Martin. In the new post, Sharpstene will oversee all Dielectric U.S. sales and business development responsibilities east of the Mississippi following the retirement of Christine Zuba. He will work closely with Zuba and her customers over the next six months to ensure a seamless transition.
Sharpstene joins Dielectric from SCMS, a manufacturer’s representative and solutions provider serving the global broadcast industry. His journey in the broadcast industry started at SCMS in 2010, where he was responsible for office management and the creation and launch of SCMS’ lucrative e-commerce site. These responsibilities led to more customer interactions over the years, which allowed Sharpstene to develop strong relationships with a wide range of SCMS customers, including broadcast engineers working for TV and radio stations and groups.
