I intend to amplify this message and work with the sales team to introduce the brand to new markets throughout the US and beyond.”
“I conceived of the PRO business model 14 years ago and it has served us well,” said Paul Hales, PRO founder, president, and product designer. “As the company matures, so too does our desire to expand the business into new and existing markets, as well as breathe new life into the PRO brand. Adding Victor offers a fresh mindset and extensive business expertise. I am confident that he will serve the PRO brand and our distributors, reps, dealers, and end users well.”
As owner, Hales will continue to guide company direction, remain informed on all strategic business decisions, and oversee critical operational functions including product development and marketing.
