Ex-Navico Group head of sales moves to Scanstrut

International manufacturer of outdoor technologies, including waterproof wireless charging, external utility sockets, cable seals and mounting solutions for the marine, RV and commercial markets, Scanstrut, has appointed Sean Hatherley as director of global sales and sales manager, Americas, for its US operation, Scanstrut Inc.

In the newly created role, Hatherley will drive growth for the company’s American business, supporting both OEM and distribution channels.

A 30-year marine industry veteran, Hatherley most recently spent a decade as head of sales for the Americas at Navico Group, leading a cross-channel sales organisation through periods of significant market sector growth.

His commercial expertise spans marine and RV OEMs, wholesale distribution, major retail accounts, and technical installer networks. He also brings a proven track record of collaborating with independent sales representative groups across North America to build and deploy successful go-to-market strategies.

“Sean’s appointment comes at an exciting time for Scanstrut,” says Tom Reed, CEO of Scanstrut. “Over the past several years, we’ve experienced significant growth across our marine, RV and commercial sectors. As our business continues to expand, bringing someone of Sean’s calibre, experience and industry knowledge into the team allows us to strengthen our support for customers, representatives and partners while creating new opportunities for future growth.

“I remain fully committed to our US business and will continue to work closely with key OEM accounts, special projects, new product development and innovation initiatives. Sean’s arrival allows us to add further capability and resource while ensuring we continue to support our customers at the highest level. This will be a phased transition throughout the year, focused on strengthening account development, supporting our rep network and identifying new opportunities across the markets we serve.”

Hatherley’s responsibilities will span all Scanstrut sectors, including marine, RV and commercial markets, as the company continues to expand its global footprint.

In 2026, Scanstrut is celebrating its 40th anniversary and marking its 9th year of Scanstrut Inc.
