BEAVERTON, Ore., April 1, 2014 /PRNewswire/
-- VTech® Communications, Inc., a wholly owned
subsidiary of VTech Holdings Limited (HKSE: 303), today named
Ernie Levenson President of its
Telecommunication Products division in the United States.
Levenson is a 12 year veteran of VTech, spending the last decade
as the company's vice president of operations. In this new role, he
will have direct responsibility for sales, operations, human
resources and marketing. He will also be looking to build on
VTech's growth in its established markets, leading diversification
into new businesses.
"I'm excited for the opportunity to help lead VTech into its
next phase," said Levenson. "I'm proud of what we've accomplished
and am confident our success to date positions us well as we expand
our offerings to provide even greater innovation to our
customers."

resources, Delany will help to align the business processes and
enhance the synergy between VTech's telecommunication products and
electronic learning products divisions in the U.S.

"best-in-class" supply chain and data warehouse management systems
for the company's telephone business in the U.S. Under his
leadership, VTech's market share in the cordless and corded phone
industry grew from 22 to 60 percent over the past eight years.
"It takes a team," Delany said of his accomplishments in his
time as president. "It's been my privilege to lead this team to
where they have achieved this degree of success and market
leadership, and I have every confidence in their continued success
under Ernie's leadership."
