He fills the position left vacant when Doug Garnhart left in August to take the CFO job at IKIN. His hiring is part of a restocking of management at the company following its acquisition by South African parent Syspro. In May, Geoff Garrett was named CEO of Syspro USA. Garrett took over the position from Brian Stein, who held the job since he and Joey Benadretti founded Syspro USA in May 1987. Benadretti left the company with the acquisition while Stein remained as interim CEO until a replacement could be named.
