About David K L.
Sales and commercial leader with over 30 years of experience building sales organizations and scaling revenue across logistics, industrial automation, and supply chain technology.Currently Vice President of Sales, North America at Modula Inc, where I lead the company’s fastest-growing region and have delivered 20% year-over-year sales growth. I have built and led a direct sales organization of 10+ professionals and established a North American reseller and system-integrator network supporting the sale, installation, and service of complex automated storage and retrieval systems.My background spans early-stage market entry, channel and integrator development, and scaling commercial operations in engineered, high-value solution environments. I have led U.S. go-to-market strategy, recruited and enabled sales teams, negotiated enterprise and global framework agreements, and implemented disciplined sales processes that support predictable growth.Earlier in my career, I founded and scaled a logistics business that was later acquired by Yusen Logistics, where I went on to serve as CEO for Russia and the CIS, doubling revenue within three years and leading large programs for global manufacturers including Toyota, Nissan, and Sony.I am particularly interested in opportunities where execution matters: building sales teams, standing up reseller and integrator ecosystems, and translating strong technology into sustained market adoption across North America.
