Kevin Storer was promoted to executive vice president of U.S. operations and president of Mi Mexico, and will maintain responsibility for all field branch sales in the United States and Mexico. This change solidifies his position as the leader for field sales and allows the field to move in an agile, highly coordinated fashion with respect to operating efficiently, as well as seizing future opportunities in a decisive manner. Storer began his career with the company in the West Group in 1987, and held significant positions in the company before being promoted in 2016 to his most recent position as senior vice president of U.S. operations and president of Mi Mexico.
Mark Stoneburner was promoted to senior vice president of Industry Segments and Business Development.
