PacWest Machinery, a heavy-equipment distributor based near Seattle, Wash., announced on Sept. 10 that CEO Andy Wold is retiring and will transition his duties to Jolene Logue, the company’s president.
Logue will assume her new post as CEO on Oct. 1, 2024, and will retain the title of president.
“I would like to personally thank the PacWest employees, customers, suppliers and other stakeholders for their many contributions over the past nine years,” Wold said. “Together, we broadened our product mix with new suppliers, built an efficient branch network and completed three successful acquisitions. The company more than doubled its business while delivering on important customer service, training, safety and profitability metrics.”
Logue brings to her new role considerable experience leading sales, service and corporate teams at Ingersoll-Rand, Volvo Construction Equipment and, since 2016, PacWest.
“I’m looking forward to the challenge,” Logue said. “The PacWest mission is to support our customers so they can build and maintain our communities, and every day our team pursues that overarching goal.”
“Over a short period of time, the PacWest team has created a leading equipment business while developing a company grounded in honesty, integrity and fair dealing,” said Stan McCammon, the president, CEO and board chairman at Joshua Green Corp., the majority owner of PacWest Machinery. “On behalf of our board, we thank Andy Wold for his leadership through the challenges of a new startup, and we congratulate Jolene Logue on her much-deserved promotion.”
