Girbau North America has announced two promotions within the company. Brennan Pollnow has been named North American business manager, Girbau Industrial brand, and Tyler Willman has been promoted to regional business development manager – Canada and Northwestern U.S.
“Brennan and Tyler are impressive young professionals who have proven their value with our company,” said Vice President of Sales Joel Jorgensen. “We are excited to offer them next steps toward building high-quality careers representing the GNA family of brands and products.”
Pollnow, who started with GNA in 2016 as an inside sales and customer care associate, was quickly promoted in 2018 to regional sales manager for Central/Southern U.S. commercial distribution and to provide lead prospect qualification and management for the company’s industrial laundry brand. In his new role as GI North American business manager, Pollnow will work to design and implement GI strategic sales plans; support new GI product introductions; develop relationships with distributors, suppliers and partners; manage ongoing GI projects; and identify emerging markets and market shifts.
Willman, who joined GNA in 2020 as a regional sales manager in training, has greatly expanded responsibilities in his new role as regional sales manager. Responsible for sales and distribution within Canada and the Northwestern U.S., Willman is charged with developing distributor and partner relationships, as well as assisting with new product development, competitive analyses, and lead tracking and follow-up.
