Todd Westerlund is now director of market expansion at Tekmetric. Westerlund is the former CEO of Kukui Corp. and former chief strategy officer of Facepay. His background also includes time as the vice president of sales at Shop Management Services, a distributor for R.O. Writer.
“It was a big deal to have Todd reach out when considering a career change. He’s been a visionary in the industry for decades now, and he sees the need for change. He’s just a natural culture fit for us,” said PJ Leslie, head of business development at Tekmetric. “Looking ahead, he will help us reach markets we don’t currently have representation in. His support in spreading the word of Tekmetric will be highly valuable in areas where people are not yet looking for a software solution to better support their business operations, but they’ll consider it because of Todd’s reputation.”
Westerlund called Tekmetric a natural fit. “The team and its culture are amazing, and the high praise and fierce loyalty among Tekmetric’s customers is a true testament to their reputation. I have been familiar with the Tekmetric team for many years, and, in that time, I have never found a shop that’s unhappy with them,” Westerlund said. “In fact, Tekmetric customers are both highly satisfied and outspoken, and it makes a distinctive impression.
“In my new role, I’m looking forward to working with the team to expand the company and make a greater impact on the industry. I’m excited to bring my unique skillsets to the table to further help increase visibility for the company and grow in different industry areas.”
