BearCom has announced that Paul Moore is the company's new Eastern Regional Director and that Rick Watson will replace Paul as General Manager of our branch office in Atlanta. I met Paul last June, when he spoke to me for our article on the Atlanta branch. In his new role, Paul will be responsible for all the branches in BearCom's Eastern Region, which stretches from New England to South Florida. Based in Atlanta, he will report to BearCom's President & CEO, Jerry Denham.

New Regional Director and General Manager

Paul joined BearCom as the Atlanta branch office General Manager in 2012, following seven years at Motorola, where he was a Senior National Accounts Manager. Moore has previously played leading roles with several category leaders, including Dannon, Coca-Cola, and Procter & Gamble—and now, BearCom. "Paul Moore has been an agent for change for some of the most recognized names in American business," Jerry Denham said in announcing Paul's new role. "His experience in strategic planning, market development, and sales team development make him an excellent choice to lead our Eastern Region." Succeeding Paul at the Atlanta Branch is Rick Watson, who began his career in wireless communications more than 25 years ago as as a Sales Account Executive for Motorola and was promoted up through the ranks to the position of Director of Sales Distribution in Atlanta. He went on to become the Regional Director of Sales for Teligent in Atlanta. After stints with automotive and construction companies, Watson returned to the wireless industry. "Rick Watson has a strong background in sales, territory management, and complex negotiations," Denham said in a BearCom news release. "He's shown he can build teams and get results. He'll be a great leader for our Atlanta branch office." The Atlanta office is one of the 26 BearCom branches located across the country. The branch network not only makes BearCom America's only nationwide dealer and integrator of wireless communications equipment, it places expertise in two-way radio rentals, sales, and service close to people who need it. "The thing that makes our branch network so effective is people—people like Paul Moore and Rick Watson," Denham added.
