Ames, Iowa-based hydraulic products distributor Danfoss Power Solutions has made two promotions within its executive leadership team, the company announced April 17. Danfoss named Mike Hill as President of Global Sales and Andrew Smulski as President of its Fluid Conveyance division, according to a news release. Both appointments are effective immediately.

Hill previously served as Senior Vice President of OEM Sales at Danfoss.

“Over the past few years, Mike has brought operational focus and rigor to the sales organization, while developing commercial talent and managing customer relationships as we worked through significant supply chain challenges in a high inflationary environment,” Danfoss President Eric Alström said in the release.

“I am happy to bring two passionate, experienced sales teams together under a simple, streamlined leadership structure. It is important we maintain focus on the distinct OEM and distribution sales channels and continue to work hard to better serve our customers and partners,” Hill said in the release.

Smulski was previously Senior Vice President of Distribution Sales with Danfoss.

“I look forward to working with the talented, passionate colleagues behind our industry-leading brands,” Smulski said in the release. “I’ve partnered with our Fluid Conveyance team for years because our hoses, fittings, and couplings are an essential component of our distributors’ business. I’m excited to now lead the FC team and grow that business, and I’m grateful I’ll still have the opportunity to work with our wonderful distribution partners.”

“Andrew’s demonstrated passion for leading global teams, partnering with customers to solve their most challenging machine problems, and collaboratively growing with our distribution partners will be a great asset to Fluid Conveyance,” Alström added. “He has the competencies to take this division to the next level, and I look forward to seeing how his contributions position the team and our customers for continued success.”
