Newly appointed sales manager leads Flexeserve’s push into Latin America

As world-leading hot-holding manufacturer and food-to-go specialist, Flexeserve, continues its impressive growth across the Americas, Anthony Harris joins the team as Sales Manager, Retail and Latin America.

Anthony Harris will expand Flexeserve’s U.S. retail market and all market segments in Latin America and the Caribbean (LATAC). On a mission to revolutionize grab-and-go hot food, Flexeserve is seeking to demonstrate to new markets in the Americas how its cutting-edge technology can offer unrivaled food quality and variety for customers.

With significant experience in global sales roles in the foodservice industry, Anthony’s new position at Flexeserve covers two core areas. In Latin America, he is responsible for growing all business segments, including c-stores, QSRs, express grab-and-go, colleges, workplaces and more. Additionally, Anthony is tasked with developing the retail business segment in the U.S., focusing on supermarkets, where there is considerable opportunity for Flexeserve to help retailers get their full share of grab-and-go.

From strategy to success: how Flexeserve’s American ambitions are taking shape

Flexeserve’s international strategy came into full force in the U.S. last year, most notably with the opening of its state-of-the-art U.S. HQ and Culinary Support Center. Whilst its growth has been promising, significant potential remains in educating the U.S. and Latin America on the advantages of Flexeserve’s incredible hot-holding solutions, and partnering with foodservice and retail outlets to transform their operations and hot food quality.

Anthony Harris is poised to play a pivotal role in driving this growth and awareness. This role involves supporting NS InterMarket, Flexeserve’s recently appointed rep partner for Latin America and the Caribbean, with its multiple in-country locations, and leveraging the opportunities provided by a brand-new test kitchen coming soon to Mexico City. This new facility will not only provide a base from which Anthony and other members of the Flexeserve team can meet and collaborate with their new rep partner, it will also offer customers a unique opportunity for a demonstration of Flexeserve’s pioneering technology and to see firsthand the outstanding food quality results it can offer.

Anthony commented, “I’m thrilled to be involved in this remarkable opportunity to shape the future of the foodservice industry in the U.S. and Latin America with our innovative hot-holding solutions. As we extend our reach and introduce cutting-edge technologies, I look forward to driving growth and demonstrating the unique benefits of our products.”

From global brands to new frontiers: Anthony’s journey to Flexeserve

Anthony has proven expertise in taking responsibility for a brand’s strategic development and growing new markets. With over 20 years’ experience in international sales and account management, he has worked with global brands in the foodservice sector, including McDonald’s, OXXO and 7-Eleven, providing commercial refrigeration and foodservice equipment solutions to help them grow.

When asked what he’d draw on from his past roles to meet his goals at Flexeserve, Anthony commented: “My industry relationships and problem-solving skills will be hugely valuable when spearheading new business development. It’s vital to understand our customers’ challenges and be able to offer solutions to support them.”

Working directly with customers, such as supermarket chains and c-stores, is only one aspect of Flexeserve’s business development model. Anthony will also work with the company’s network of independent rep partners, distributors and authorized dealers, where a solution-oriented approach is also critically important. “We need to follow up with our partners, give them support and guide them in growing their business,” Anthony explained.

Anthony’s Spanish fluency will also be very helpful when seeking to grow markets in LATAC. He already has a track record of managing various LATAC accounts, rolling out new product testing and exceeding sales targets.
