Boat monitoring system developer Skyhawk Oversea named Carl Schumacher director of business development. Schumacher will be responsible for forging partnerships, developing sales channels and market strategies, and assisting overall marketing efforts.
Schumacher previously was director of sales with Siren Marine and worked in commercial sales for autonomous vessel manufacturer Sea Machines Robotics and sonar company Klein Marine Systems.
“Carlton’s experience in marine industry sales and vessel monitoring and tracking technology is a direct fit with our vision for the Skyhawk Oversea business,” company founder Richard Shevelow said in a statement. “He understands the sales channels and industry partnerships we need to cultivate to achieve new levels today, and also has an eye on the horizon and new ideas about what we can accomplish in the future.”
Skyhawk Oversea debuted at the Miami boat show earlier this year, winning an innovation award in the electronics category. The system provides year-round monitoring using remote asset hardware, software and app development.
