Graebel Companies, Inc has announced the elevation of Graebel President Ron Dunlap to chief executive officer, leaving Bill Graebel to focus full time as chairman. The company said that this leadership change, which Ron and Bill have been working toward for years, is a testament to Graebel’s robust succession planning and its commitment to ensuring business continuity.
“Transformation is in our DNA at Graebel and we’re at an inflection point, one where many milestones are converging: our digital transformation efforts, which will completely revolutionise how we serve our customers; a new growth strategy to expand our reach and
leverage our strengths; and the company’s 75th anniversary next year, to name just a few,” said Bill Graebel. “Ron has been a vital part of our leadership team for 15 years, demonstrating exceptional skill, dedication and a deep understanding of our business. Ron’s extensive experience and proven track record in driving innovation, fostering strong client relationships and achieving outstanding results make him the ideal choice to lead our company into the future. I can’t wait to see how the company evolves under his leadership, to become even greater than it already is.”
“Over the past four years, we have been pursuing purposeful change to increase our market share, by attracting new senior leaders, innovating our offerings and processes, and radically transforming our technology platform,” said Ron Dunlap. “While much is changing, some things will never change, including our commitment to delivering exceptional experiences for mobile employees, and our mission and values, which make Graebel who we are. I’m honoured and humbled by the opportunity to lead our company forward, while continuing to work with Bill in his role as Board chair.”
