Aquatherm Industries – manufacturer of solar heaters for swimming pools – is pleased to announce the addition of Molly Friar, who has assumed the position of Sales Manager for the New Jersey-based company.
Dave Sizelove, President of Aquatherm, who hand-picked Molly for the position had this to say: “Molly joins us at a time when the industry and Aquatherm are undergoing many changes – a time when fresh ideas and the experience to execute them are necessary to keep moving forward – but our focus on the fundamentals of working together is here to stay.”
Molly’s 9 years of experience in the solar pool heating industry have included management positions in customer service, shipping and receiving and sales and marketing. At Aquatherm she will be taking an active role in supporting the worldwide Aquatherm Dealer Network, helping to grow their businesses in any way possible.
One of Friar’s most memorable achievements came while holding her Customer Logistics Manager position. Faced with a trade-show deadline of only 90 days, Molly was tasked with constructing a new product launch campaign for multiple lines, including the creation of all literature and websites, as well as a new trade-show booth display and presence, and finally coordinating a media event to generate buzz. Through her hard work and attention to detail, she met her deadline and successfully generated over 1,200 qualified leads from the campaign.
After a brief one-year hiatus from solar, Molly is “thrilled with the opportunity to be a part of the Aquatherm organization, and excited to be a part of the solar industry once again. The energy and passion for solar is palpable, and it’s unlike any other industry I have experienced.”
