CARLSTADT, NJ -- Neolith, a global leader in sintered stone surfaces, announced the promotion of Michele Ballarin to the role of Chief Revenue Growth Officer (CRGO), effective immediately. In this newly appointed position, Ballarin will report directly to Walter Ceglia, Global CEO of Neolith Group.

Ballarin joined Neolith in October 2022 and most recently served as executive vice president for West Coast U.S. and LATAM Distribution. In that role, he successfully led the regional commercial strategy, built strong distribution networks and spearheaded growth initiatives across two key markets.

As CRGO, Ballarin will be responsible for driving Neolith’s global revenue strategy and execution. He will lead cross-functional teams across sales, marketing, customer success and revenue operations, with a mandate to align efforts and accelerate sustainable top-line growth across all channels and regions.

“Michele has demonstrated outstanding leadership, strategic foresight and deep market insight since joining Neolith,” said Ceglia. “His promotion to CRGO is a reflection of his ability to deliver results, build and empower high-performing teams and inspire growth throughout the organization. We are confident Michele will play a pivotal role in driving Neolith’s next phase of expansion.”

Ballarin brings over two decades of experience in the building materials and industrial manufacturing sectors. Prior to joining Neolith, he held senior leadership roles at Florim, where he rose to director of North and South America markets, as well as key positions at Lapitec S.p.A. and Breton S.p.A.

During his tenure as executive vice president, Ballarin was instrumental in managing commercial and marketing budgets, building a robust team of area managers and business developers and overseeing distributor relationships with a focus on sustainable growth and operational efficiency.

“Michele’s extensive background in international markets and his ability to align regional dynamics with global strategy make him the ideal choice for this position,” said James Amendola, CEO of Neolith North America. “We look forward to his continued leadership and vision as we expand our market presence and deliver best-in-class solutions to our customers.”

Ballarin’s appointment marks a key milestone in Neolith’s commitment to growth, innovation and excellence in customer experience.
