After conducting a national search to find the right individual, Modagrafics has chosen Michael Loizzo to serve as vice president of sales. He reports directly to company president & CEO Paul Pirkle.
“We searched inside and outside of the fleet market to fill this position. I wanted to make sure they would fit into our culture, be heavily engaged in the sales process, and be able to add value to our sales and operational efforts on a daily basis,” explained Pirkle. “Michael understands how our traditional products relate to the Spedian Vehicle Graphics System and BlackBerry Radar, in addition to how integral the Rapidus app is to our overall approach. He gets it, and I’m confident he will be a huge asset for Modagrafics.”
In his last position, Loizzo (pronounced Lo-wit-zo) was President of a Chicago area national pallet and crating provider where he managed the day-to-day operations. In less than two years, he recruited, hired and trained a new sales team, improved sales revenue and earned new business in seven states.
As part of his responsibilities, Loizzo will collaborate with Brian Leyden, Modagrafics’ recently hired Director of Retail Sales, to introduce retail graphics to fleet customers and fleet solutions to retail customers.
“Modagrafics is an industry leader in the making. They have a decisive and meaningful mission, and a vision statement and culture that support those mantras,” said Loizzo of his decision to accept the job. “At my last company, the team took pride in our accessibility and responsiveness; every inquiry was a priority, and every situation was followed up with a solution. Here at Modagrafics, we have a team of people who bleed what the organization represents, from top to bottom. With strong individuals at every position and cutting edge technology available, the array of services and products provides a competitive advantage in the marketplace.”
