 Peak Technologies, a provider of digital supply chain and mobile workforce solutions, named René Schrama chief revenue officer (CRO). In his role, Schrama will strategically support future sales growth across all business segments and areas of operation.

“A key consideration in appointing René to the CRO position is that we will remain true to our foundational values,” said Tony Rivers, president and CEO, of Peak Technologies. “This role will be a dynamic and strategic force to drive our mission of being a trusted business adviser and solutions partner to the world’s leading companies by applying our deep domain-level experience in advanced digital supply chain and mobile technologies to help customers achieve their strategic business objectives.”

Schrama brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to Peak’s executive leadership team. He joined Peak Technologies in November 2020 and has served as managing director for Europe since October 2021. Under his leadership, Peak UK has grown revenue by 47%, all while facilitating and integrating acquisitions in Ireland, Belgium, and the Netherlands. Following his business studies degree in international marketing, Schrama held various international sales leadership roles with Symbol Technologies and Motorola Solutions. In 2014, Schrama started his own consulting company, advising corporations such as Zebra Technologies, Scansource, Datalogic, Toshiba, and Polycom on their go-to-market strategies across Asia, Europe, North America, and South America.

Throughout his career, Schrama has built and implemented successful business plans by recognizing opportunities for growth and developing strategies to execute a vision for significant revenue growth. His experience across different sectors, disciplines and global industries makes Schrama well-qualified to successfully integrate a consistent and effective sales strategy across every operational group within Peak Technologies, resulting in sustainable revenue growth.

“I am very excited to take on the chief revenue officer position with Peak Technologies, especially at a time when our company is setting itself apart from the competition with our technical capabilities, our solutions focus and our sales reach,” said Schrama. “I look forward to working closely with our talented teams in sales, marketing, and throughout the company. Peak Technologies has a bright future and is uniquely positioned to expand our standing as the world’s leading solutions provider in our sector.”
