Green Team Technologies (GTT) has announced the appointment of Brian Allibon as president of its Fuse5 Automotive division. Allibon has more than 30 years of experience in the IT field within the automotive aftermarket and has developed a great knowledge of the supply chain and distribution processes required to deliver a first-rate ERP system, according to GTT.
“It was a very tough decision to leave my previous position but the Fuse5 product had impressed me for some time and I felt the time was right to join what I’m convinced will soon be the leading IT solution provider in our industry,” said Allibon. “I was very fortunate to receive the opportunity when I did and my excitement has grown each and every day since joining the company. “
Allibon will head-up the global automotive division of GTT and has been given broad authority to staff-up, ramp-up and scale-out the Fuse5 partner network around the globe.
“We are extremely excited and pleased at the appointment of Brian as our new automotive president,” said Gabe Davis, CEO of Green Team Technologies. “Brian has an amazing wealth of international industry knowledge and perspective. He’s a walking encyclopedia about best practices in this market and it seems there’s little about customer operations he hasn’t learned about firsthand in this space.”
GTT said Allibon joining the company marks the beginning of its efforts to better support present and future partners through the addition of a significantly larger national sales and support team comprised of experienced industry professionals.
“We shall be adding to our team considerably over the coming weeks and months and our intent is to build a dream team of experienced industry senior staff who know and understand our customers’ businesses and the industry we work within,” Allibon said. “Growing the team is one of many initiatives I will be spearheading here at GTT in an effort to quickly become the best possible IT partner we can.”
Allibon said he has already added three high-caliber individuals to the team in the past 30 days, with more than 80 years of combined industry experience and GTT has plans to add many more this year. Additionally GTT says it will have doubled its support staff in the first 6 months of 2015.
Commenting on why seasoned, experienced industry veterans like himself were joining the Fuse5 team, Allibon said, “Prior to joining Fuse5 I heard a lot of rumors about [GTT] and Fuse5. However, now that I’m on the other side I can tell the rumors about this company just aren’t true. In truth, the Fuse5 product has even more to offer than I would have imagined and I’ve been impressed with [GTT’s] corporate structure, financial stability and backing, and impressive growth patterns to-date.”
Allibon stated GTT does have areas to improve upon and says he’s excited to lead the charge on changing industry perceptions and filling in the gaps.
“People think Fuse5 is just another Web-based software product, but it’s quite different actually,” said Allibon. “Fuse5 leverages cloud-computing to move beyond the simple process automation other systems have been focused on historically. Don’t get me wrong, Fuse5 does that too, but it’s much more powerful. The sophisticated intelligence tools, business analytics, marketing and management dashboards and alerts are all geared toward giving management better tools not just to manage their business, but to grow it and actually increase top-end revenues as well as bottom-end profits. Others may say this, but I can tell you Fuse5 is actually doing it.”
