Welcome aboard, Brandon and Blake

We are delighted to welcome to RTI Group North America Brandon Firestine and Blake Perry, the new Area Sales Managers (ASMs) for Southeast and West respectively.

Both were recently introduced to the global RTI team, including our APAC Manager, Kristina Maaño, on their visit to Headquarters in Mölndal, Sweden. The first opportunity since March 2020 for all RTI Sales teams to meet face-to-face.

Brandon, who lives in the Asheville area, NC, with his family (and two dogs), has more than twelve years of experience in medical imaging, service, and sales with his ownership of X-ray Purging (XRP). Based in the city of Asheville, XRP is a nationwide leader in archived film purging & destruction – in the medical and Industrial industries – within the continental US market.

Prior to XRP, Brandon owned his own security company, WNC Alarm, Inc., and was also a Brinks Home Security™ dealer. His major achievement was taking a startup company to a top 10 national dealership, with a multimillion-dollar yearly revenue, in only three years.

Blake, from Phoenix, AZ, is a graduate of the University of Arizona, Tuscon. Even before graduating in 2017, Blake had acquired sales and management experience through employment at a leading specialty retailer of home and floor interiors based in the university city.

Since 2020, he has worked in the pharmaceutical sector as a Sales Representative and, most recently, Territory Manager (Cardiovascular) at WraSer Pharmaceuticals, a growing independent specialty pharmaceutical marketing and distribution company headquartered in Ridgeland, MS.

“The entire RTI team is excited to welcome Brandon and Blake as they take control of their respective territories. We are building the best team to match our industry-leading X-ray QA test solutions and throughout the process, Brandon and Blake stood out,” said Steve Holmes, Vice President of Sales North America.

Welcome aboard!
