Ben Randazzo
is now the Grainger recruiting leader who works with the Kellogg
School. Grainger has had an excellent year hiring two recent
grads for the Grainger Leadership Rotation Program and has
also hired someone for the summer intern program for first-year
students. This year, Wes Clark, Grainger's president, presented
at the newly formed General Management Club and also at the
Business Leadership Club. Grainger also sponsored the Leadership
Club Award event.
Greg
Irving got a huge promotion at WW Grainger. His new position
is vice president of financial services. He is now responsible
for credit, collections, cash applications, accounts receivable,
accounts payable, payroll, and contract administration for
the large supplier rebate programs. His span of control includes
approximately 500 employees. He is supervising a lot of people
at Grainger, except, of course, Ben. This position is an operational
financial position. Congratulations, Greg!
After
25 years with Motorola, Jeff DeMonoco has decided to venture
out and accepted a vice president of sales and marketing position
for an Internet wholesale company and wireless Internet access
subscriber business. It has been a big year for change and
challenge and Jeff is having the time of his life. Go Jeff,
a.k.a. Pasquale!
John
Mitchell is still living in Phoenix and loving it. He was
promoted to vice president of sales at Openwave. His new contact
information is: john.mitchell@openwave.com. Telephone 602.312.4028.The
whole family is having success, as his daughter made the Olympic
Development Team for soccer and his son qualified for regionals
in wrestling. Wow! Oh, John also wants us to know that he
still has his hair and life is good.
Judy
Buckley has completed 1.5 years of Chinese/Mandarin language
training and will be reassigned to the political/economic
section at the U.S. Consulate in Hong Kong this August. We
will update her info as soon as she hits Hong Kong. How do
you say "Go girl!" in Mandarin Chinese? Judy, we
all miss you.
I need new e-mail info for the following (don't make me find
you): eric.a.mcallister@accenture.com, ptonino@luc.edu and
gjd002@aecs.mot.com.
John Kot
was sighted in Prague drinking absinthe.
Troy Richardson
is the new vice president of sales, retail solutions division
for NCR Corp. He is responsible for $2 billion in sales for
the Americas, including North America, Latin America, and
Canada. The division's HQ is located in Duluth, Ga., a suburb
of Atlanta. Way to go, Troy!
Ken Willis
has assumed a much coveted promotion to VP/GM South Customer
Business Center (CBC) located in Atlanta, which is much closer
to Florida - my home and the home of the Florida State Seminoles,
Ken's undergrad alma mater. CBC's are sales/profit centers
staffed with cross-functional resources (sales, marketing,
finance, supply chain, category management, I/T, etc.) that
are organized by geographical chunks and driver customers.
The geographical outline of the SCBC extends from Florida,
north to Tennessee and west through New Mexico. Given the
strength of Gatorade and Tropicana in that region of the country,
sales responsibility is approaching $1 billion across grocery
and convenience store channels. The Willis Family
moves in early June, so meantime he's doing the Monday-Friday
shuffle from Chicago. Congratulations, Ken!
Chris
Ksoll was promoted to senior vice president at Northern Trust
and continues to manage a team of private bankers whose sole
focus is to provide unequaled financial services to closely-held
business owners. She is also co-leading the Affluent African
American initiative at Northern Trust and can't wait to involve
her EMP-40 buddies.
