WillowWood Promotes Wise and Huizinga

WillowWood is pleased to announce the promotions of Linda Wise and Charlie Huizinga within the company’s executive and marketing teams.

Linda Wise has been promoted to Chief Marketing Officer. In this new capacity, Wise will assume full leadership of the company’s marketing team and join the company’s executive leadership team while continuing to spearhead all domestic and international sales within the Americas.

Wise joined WillowWood in 2009 as marketing manager and immediately began immersing herself within the O&P industry. In November 2014 Wise became Marketing Director at WillowWood. While at WillowWood, Wise has strengthened customer education efforts by establishing and recruiting product specialists, has identified and developed new online and print tools for customer use, and helped implement and roll-out the company’s rebranding in 2011. Most recently she has established new distributor relationships in Latin America and led product registration efforts in Brazil and Colombia.

Charlie Huizinga has been promoted to Sales and Marketing Manager. In his new expanded role, Huizinga will continue to be responsible for international sales, concentrating on the European market, while taking on the management of WillowWood’s product specialist team for domestic customer education and product awareness.

Since joining WillowWood in October 2012 as a product specialist, Huizinga has built strong relationships with the company’s clinical customers and key international distributors. In 2013, he was promoted to International Sales and Key Account Manager. Prior to WillowWood, which specializes in lower-extremity prosthetics, Huizinga worked for four years at a leading upper-extremity prosthetic manufacturer.
