Martin Piplits is The Persimmon Group Speakers’ guru on global business and culture for reasons far beyond his foreign language fluency. While he is a sophisticated world traveler who speaks three languages, Martin’s true basis for his programs is his 20-year track record of successfully implementing sustainable profit-growth strategies in worldwide and multi-cultural markets.
Martin held a 16-year career with Hilti Corporation, a world leader in the manufacturing and construction industry, where he developed and implemented marketing and sales strategies for divisions of Hilti in countries ranging from Hungary to South Korea. He was the VP of Finance for one of Hilti’s European regions and also for Hilti Asia, and ultimately was Hilti’s CFO in the United States, where he had financial responsibility for budgets nearing $300 million. Martin has created marketing and sales organizations from scratch with an emphasis on international strategies and has led teams of hundreds on various projects.
This is what makes Martin the ideal choice to be The Persimmon Group LLC’s Business Consulting Practice Leader. Martin’s specialties include turn-around and crisis management and the development and implementation of successful marketing and sales strategies.
From this, Martin’s experience has transformed into very specialized programs that will rivet audiences. He is one of the few true International Business experts on the speaking circuit today.
