Clearwater, Fla.-based AAMP Global, parent company of the mobile electronics brands Stinger, PAC, EchoMaster and PhoenixGold, appointed Scott Forst as its president and CEO. In addition, previous president and CEO, Jamie Fraser, was appointed executive chairman of AAMP’s Board.
“I am delighted to announce Scott’s promotion to president and chief executive officer,” said Fraser. “I have worked closely with Scott over the past few years and am confident that he will continue to execute on the growth strategies for the organization as he has leading the Americas Division.”
Forst has been with the company for more than eight years in various roles. Starting as senior vice president of sales, he spent much of his time gaining an in-depth knowledge of the industry, especially the 12-volt network of dealers that the company supports. After five years, Forst was promoted to president of the Americas where he led the division’s growth strategy through acquisition, channel expansion and product development.
As president and CEO, Forst will continue to focus his efforts on the company’s overall growth strategies, both organically and through acquisition, with an emphasis on technology and fully integrated vehicle-specific solutions.
“I am proud and honored to be placed in the role of president and CEO,” said Forst. “I thank Jamie and the board for the opportunity and look forward to continuing to execute on our ambitious goals with the support of our valued channel partners globally.”
