(ACI), a Whitmore Group company, announces the recent hire of Norman Clausen as its North American vice president of sales based in the company's Chicago office.

Clausen added that he looks forward to growing the sales and marketing teams at ACI and developing new leaders to establish themselves as key figures not only within the company, but among their peers in the industry.
