Legrand has named Scott Kleinle director of product management for its On-Q home automation and infrastructure and Nuvo whole home audio system lines. He is based in the company’s office in Middletown, Pa.
In his new position, Kleinle will be responsible for leading all product strategy and development, forecasting inventory, operations performance (capacity, cost, pricing), long-term planning, and budget planning activities to grow line revenue and operating income for Legrand’s Home Systems product offering.
Kleinle brings more than 16 years of high-level product management experience from several senior leadership roles in related industries. Most recently, he was global product director with TE Connectivity in Philadelphia, where he restructured the company’s Data and Devices cable assembly business.

“Scott is a strategic thinker that I have no doubt that he will be invaluable in advancing the success and effectiveness of two of our major lines, Nuvo and On-Q,” said Fritz Werder, GM and vice president for Nuvo and On-Q product lines. “His impressive track record speaks to his abilities.”
