New Leadership at RS: Erick Moreira Joins as PRO Director for the Americas

RS, a global powerhouse known for its high-service product and service solutions in the industrial sector, recently announced the appointment of Erick Moreira as the new Director of RS PRO for the Americas. With over two decades of leadership experience in Fortune 500 companies, Moreira is set to drive the brand's strategic growth and enhance the overall customer experience in the region.

A Wealth of Experience

Moreira is coming into this role with an impressive resume that encompasses diverse areas such as product management, marketing, merchandising, and supply chain operations. His experience includes significant tenures at notable corporations including Lowe's, Walmart, and Whirlpool, where he effectively managed extensive product portfolios across North and South America. He holds an MBA from the University of Chicago, along with a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration and International Trade from Universidade Paulista (UNIP) in Brazil.

His extensive background doesn't just stop at product management; Erick has a proven track record in profit and loss management, where he oversaw billion-dollar portfolios while also fostering high-performing teams. His strategic approach has been driven by a commitment to addressing customer pain points, achieving substantial growth, and optimizing margins — a focus that RS PRO expects to benefit from significantly.

Goals for the Future

In his new capacity, Moreira's primary objectives include refining the RS PRO product lineup, increasing brand awareness, and cultivating a robust perception among customers. "I'm very excited to be part of RS Americas and contribute to the growth of RS PRO. There's a strong foundation here and a clear commitment to delivering value to customers," said Moreira in an official statement. He emphasized the importance of collaboration with other teams within RS to elevate the brand's market presence.

Moreira is eager to ensure that RS PRO becomes a top-of-mind choice for customers in North America through increased engagement and improved communication strategies. His leadership style is expected to blend collaborative efforts with data-driven insights, ensuring decisions are well-informed by internal and external inputs.

The product range, which includes over 90,000 items spanning more than 1,500 technologies, offers not just competitive pricing but also the assurance of performance that appeals to a wide range of industrial applications. The unique selling proposition of RS PRO further extends to its rigorous testing protocols, allowing it to provide a seal of quality assurance to customers, alongside an impressive three-year warranty on most products.

With a return rate of less than 0.02%, RS PRO has garnered the trust of over half a million industrial customers, signaling strong satisfaction and reliability in its product offerings. By focusing on simplifying the purchasing process while providing integrated solutions, Moreira looks to enhance the overall experience for customers engaging with RS PRO.

Personal Interests

Outside the professional realm, swimming and cycling are among Moreira's passions; he enjoys road biking in serene countryside settings as a way to unwind and reinvigorate. His fascination with cultural diversity also manifests in his love for travel and exploration through diverse cuisines. Moreira believes his personal experiences contribute to his professional demeanor, helping him remain curious and maintain his authenticity at work — vital traits that can only enhance his leadership approach.
