Avon Technologies plc has appointed Vasilios Brachos as president of Team Wendy, a provider of head protection systems for military, law enforcement, search and rescue, and adventure sports markets.
The appointment is effective immediately, with Brachos also joining the Avon Technologies plc Group Executive Committee. The company said the move will support Team Wendy’s focus on innovation, operational excellence and expansion across military, U.S. commercial and international markets.

Sclater added that Brachos’ technical expertise, industry credibility and customer understanding make him “uniquely qualified” to lead the next phase of growth.
