Ipsen USA announces two leadership promotions
January 8, 2025
Ipsen USA, Cherry Valley, Illinois, USA, has announced the promotion of two team members to its management. Matt Clinite is now Sales Director and Christina Connelly, Director of Ipsen Customer Service (ICS). The company has said that these changes reflect its strategic focus on better serving customers by strengthening the ICS and Sales teams.
In his position as Ipsen USA Sales Director, Matt Clinite will report to Patrick McKenna, Ipsen USA President & CEO. Since joining Ipsen in 2014 as a Sales Associate in the Ceramics Division, Clinite is noted as having demonstrated outstanding leadership and exceeding expectations in roles of increasing responsibility.
Clinite most recently served as the Director of Ipsen Customer Service (ICS) Sales and Retrofits; in 2024, he led his team to a record-breaking performance. In his new role, Clinite will lead Ipsen’s outside sales team, focusing on developing and implementing sales strategies, mentoring and guiding his team, and fostering strong relationships with clients and key stakeholders.
Ipsen USA has attributed Christina Connelly’s leadership to the significant growth and improvements within the parts team, which now includes production control, parts engineers, and pricing.
Under Connelly’s guidance, parts bookings are said to have grown at a double-digit percentage rate, and her initiatives (e.g. Kaizen events and customer engagement strategies) have enhanced performance and customer satisfaction. Looking forward, Connelly will lead the integration of parts purchasing and inventory planning.
