Vice President of Sales (north)
Scott Bendawald,
Vice President of Sales (south)
"We chose a joint announcement, as it highly aligns with our 2.0 team concepts and principles. While they both have a wake of distinction and strong historical performance individually, it is within the construct of TEAM, and furthering the rapid development of the business overall, where this dual ascension will magnify the impact. Independently they are excellent, when combined they are magnificent!" expressed Robert Mohr Gerry, Chief Revenue Officer for Lampton 2.0.
"It's wonderful to see our talent blossom and these two individuals have definitely been solid contributors to the Lampton 2.0 efforts. Now, with their elevation, it’s time to expect more," said Doug Lampton, President.
