HISUN Motors USA has promoted Zegin Braun to vice president of sales, tasking him with leading both dealer and retail sales channels across North America as the company looks to further align its goto-market strategy.

Braun, who most recently served as national sales manager, will now oversee a unified sales structure designed to improve execution, strengthen partner relationships and support continued growth across the business.

DEALER AND RETAIL ALIGNMENT The move brings dealer and retail sales leadership under one umbrella, a shift the company says will create better coordination across channels and improve how products are brought to market.

“ Zegin has been a strong contributor to our growth and understands how to support both our dealer network and retail partners,” says King Dai, CEO of HISUN.“ As we continue to grow, his leadership will be important in helping us build a more aligned and effective sales organization.”

The transition follows the planned retirement of Ryan Daugherty, vice president of retail sales.

“ As I transition toward retirement, I am proud of the partnerships we have built and the progress HISUN Motors USA has made expanding its retail presence,” Dauherty says.“ Zegin brings strong leadership and a deep understanding of our partners, and I am confident he will continue strengthening the foundation we have built.”
