ProGlove appoints industry veteran Charles Jackson to head up North America market expansion plans

Munich, Germany headquartered Proglove, a specialist in wearable scanner solutions, has appointed Charles Jackson to the role Head of North America.

Jackson, who has relocated from Atlanta to Chicago to take up the role, has previously held various leadership roles, and established footholds in the US market and the broader Americas region for organisations.

He was most recently at Pricer where he grew the business’s sales from $3 million to over $100 million annually, serving retail, manufacturing, and logistics with scalable high speed wireless displays. He also specialises in complex sales that integrate cutting-edge hardware, cloud-based management SaaS, and scaled deployments.

Stefan Lampa, CEO at ProGlove, says: “Charles has demonstrated exceptional leadership throughout his career and an outstanding ability to drive significant growth.”

“With a notable track record, deep logistics and warehouse sector expertise, and extensive experience leading teams to success, Charles is well-prepared to help us expand our reach and enhance our impact in the Americas. His commitment to team building and strategic innovation aligns perfectly with our goals.”

“We are looking forward to the new perspective and energy Charles will bring to the team, as well as to our collective efforts of putting people first to provide healthier, safer, and hyper-efficient workplaces.”

Jackson says: “ProGlove has single-handedly changed the face of warehousing and logistics with its technology. It has already experienced impressive growth in the Americas and has, as a company, evolved far beyond a sophisticated scan device.”

“Today, the organisation encompasses an extensive suite of hardware and software solutions, delivering critical actionable insights for businesses across sectors.” 

“We've only scratched the surface of what's possible here and with rapid industry evolution, the future will extend far beyond wearables. I’m excited to be joining ProGlove as we embark on this journey to solidify our dominance in the North American market, and to unveil more groundbreaking innovation in the year ahead.”
