Verbatim, the leading data storage company and part of the Mitsubishi Chemical Group, has appointed Clive Alberts as President for its EUMEA operation. The position was previously held by Hidetaka Yabe who returns to Tokyo, Japan to undertake a General Manager’s role within the Corporate Marketing Department at Mitsubishi Chemical Corp.
Alberts (45) previously worked for Freecom (2001 – 2010) as Head of Sales and Marketing for the DACH and CEE region (Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Central and East Europe). Freecom was purchased by Mitsubishi Chemical Media in 2010 and merged with Verbatim at which point Alberts took on a similar role within the larger combined Verbatim EUMEA operation. He added the responsibilities of General Manager / Prokurist for Verbatim Europe Central in 2013 and was appointed Sales Director for Verbatim EUMEA in 2016 before now taking on this new position of President from April 2019.
