Not only does the PM have to "make it work in the market", he/she also has to "make it". Literally go out and source options, products, colors, feature content, pricing, even determine categories that we need to get into in a the first place. A lot of emphasis put on decision making, determining options, creating-understanding and driving direction etc. Not just taking something that exists and trying to make it work. So someone who's worked for a distributor in the past, or someone who has taken an existing product assortment to market just doesn't have the experience for what we need. So to sum it up, it doesn't necessarily have to be "CE" experience, but must be someone who has had the sourcing, product assortment-decision making as it relates to what products, what features, what colors will make up their assortment plan.
