Vortex Companies promotes Wesley Kingery to COO
(UI) - The Vortex Companies, a leading provider of advanced trenchless water and sewer technologies and infrastructure renewal services, announced the promotion of Wesley Kingery to Chief Operating Officer (COO). In this capacity, Kingery will lead the development of a cross-collaboration strategy between Vortex’s Services and Products divisions to strengthen customer relationships, increase sales, and improve overall service and product quality.
Kingery’s former company, VacVision Environmental, was acquired by Vortex in 2017. Since that time, he has served as President of the Services division and played a key role in its record growth. In his new role, Kingery will focus on syncing the Services and Products divisions through greater collaboration that will include internal partnering, cross-selling, and improved customer and technical support.
“It really comes down to simplifying our approach to delivering total customer solutions, whether that is providing contracting services, products, technology, equipment solutions, or any combination thereof,” said Kingery. “Vortex was built to deliver a complete package. We will empower the sales team to pursue projects and customers, with tailored solutions, to help them overcome their unique project challenges.”
Approaching each project with a ‘best solution’ approach has enabled Vortex to expand to 12 locations globally and experience double-digit revenue growth annually since it was founded in 2015.
“We’ve succeeded in growing during a pandemic, supply chain issues, labor shortages, and geopolitical unrest. I can’t say enough about this group and our leadership,” said Mike Vellano, CEO of the Vortex Companies.
