MINNEAPOLIS, Kan., July 21, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Huyett is proud to announce the addition of Candi Glass as our new Vice President of Marketing & Development and the sixth member of our Executive Team. Glass brings experience from her 26-year career as a leader in merchandising, planning, inventory, and forecasting operations for notable companies like Camping World, Bosselman Enterprises, and Cabela's. Throughout her career, Glass has overseen large interdepartmental teams and led merchandising strategies through mergers, expansions, and crucial technology improvements. She has held senior leadership positions for 7 years and used her role to initiate and lead professional development training, company culture shifts, and lean process improvements. Glass holds a Bachelor of Business Administration and an Associate of Science, Ag Sales & Services from Dickinson State University and several corporate leadership certifications.
Glass states that her choice to join Huyett's team was largely influenced by the Company's servant leadership orientation and their passion towards employee wellbeing: "I'm excited to be part of a company that is as passionate about their associates and the work we do as I am. The Culture of Excellence is evident in the team and customer service they provide. I'm looking forward to engaging as a leader and growing with Huyett."

We are at the advent of some exciting expansions, all of which will consume precious capital and resources. Candi will help steer us through these exciting but complicated times.

Candi checks all those boxes."
