“It is apparent the pace of transformation in our business is increasing,” says board member and interim CEO Mike Buettner. “In order to address this challenge head on, just like we are in winning back our customers, we are going to be adding to the Tucker team. I am excited to announce the addition of Greg Blackwell, as the Senior VP of Sales & Marketing for Tucker Powersports," says Buettner.
"Greg has been in the industry for more than 25 years with such companies as KTM USA, Lemans Corporation, Metzeler Motorcycle Tire North America, and most recently as President of MTA Distributing. He brings a depth and wealth of knowledge and connections that will immediately benefit Tucker.”
Blackwell officially joined Tucker Monday, November 12th. "Greg will be focused on rebuilding relationships within the industry, supporting Tucker’s ability to meet sales and revenue goals, delivering an outstanding value and experience to our dealers, and ultimately growing market share through strategic partnerships."
As part of this change, to address the complexity of the changes in the marketplace, Buettner will be dividing the sales/customer support and marketing roles. “Kenan Ikels, who is leading the charge to get our customers back, will continue his focus as VP Sales and Customer Support, and Greg will work to define and recruit a partner for Kenan on the marketing side.”
