Kokusai Denki Electric America announces the appointment of new Regional Sales Manager for the Northeast, Mondae Hott, expanding the company’s US sales team while underscoring customer support.
In her new role, Hott will lead sales and business development across the Northeast down through North Carolina, working closely with dealers, systems integrators, broadcasters and production teams to help customers get the most from Kokusai Denki’s broadcast camera and imaging solutions. A key part of her duties includes supporting partners and end users directly. She reports to Sean Moran, Chief Operating Officer.
Hott brings more than 20 years of industry experience to the position. “She spent over two decades with Ensemble Designs, where she played a central role in managing international sales initiatives,” the announcement states. “During that time, she built strong relationships across global markets and earned a reputation for being responsive, technically knowledgeable and committed to helping customers. When Ensemble Designs was acquired in 2024, it closed a long chapter in her career and paved the way for her role with Kokusai Denki.”
“Mondae has spent her career working closely with customers and partners, and that mindset fits perfectly with how we approach the market,” says Moran. “We always say that we’re not just shipping equipment but we’re supporting the people who use it every day. Having someone with Mondae’s experience and relationships in the Northeast will make a real difference for our customers in this regard.”
“Customer support is a cornerstone for Kokusai Denki. By investing in experienced regional managers with technical acumen, the company gives partners more direct access to support, faster responses and a closer working relationship than what’s often seen in the broadcast equipment market,” the announcement explains.
Hott says this customer-centric approach was one of the things that drew her to the role.
“What stood out to me about Kokusai Denki is how seriously they take supporting customers and partners,” she says. “This is a relationship-driven industry, and the teams using these systems need people they can call when they have questions or when they’re planning their next project. That’s where I come in; reconnecting with those I know in the region to help them find the right solutions for their production needs is an absolute priority for me.”
