Boehringer Ingelheim Vetmedica, Inc., (BIVI) announces changes to the sales and marketing leadership of its pet, cattle and equine business segments. The changes, effective May 1, 2012, are designed to reinforce the leadership of the company’s domestic sales and marketing organizations today and for the future.
As part of the announced changes, Colin Meyers will assume the role of executive director of the pet business; Steve Boren will assume the role of executive director for the company’s cattle business; and Matt Musselman will lead the equine business unit as executive director.
Tim Bettington, vice president of sales and marketing for BIVI, says the appointments will better position the company to take advantage of increased business opportunities in their respective market segments. “Colin, Steve and Matt were selected for their extensive sales and marketing management experience and professionalism in leading these important BIVI business units moving forward,” Bettington says. “With these appointments, we are well positioned to meet the needs of our customers and capitalize on future market opportunities.”
Bettington, who was appointed to his current position in March, will continue to lead the swine business unit. In addition, the National Account Management team also will report to him.
