FirstOnSite Restoration made three senior leadership appointments within their Canadian operations earlier this month.
Al Sutherland joined FirstOnSite as senior vice-president and chief administrative officer, Kevin Clarke has moved into the newly created role of executive vice-president of branch operations and Jodi Getson is now senior vice-president of Atlantic Canada.
“Jodi, Al and Kevin have each been tremendous contributors to FirstOnSite over the years,” said FirstOnSite CEO Dave Demos. “Our mission is to provide the best customer experience in the restoration industry, and Jodi, Al and Kevin have the experience and drive to support that commitment.”
As FirstOnSite’s CAO, Sutherland will provide operational teams and internal functional teams with a clear path for continued growth, while supporting company-wide initiatives aimed at elevating the company’s customer experience. In 2012, as a consultant with FirstOnSite, Al was a driving force in the implementation of mobileCT, FirstOnSite’s proprietary restoration project software.
Clarke is one of the company’s founding members and has been part of the senior management team since its inception. Key responsibilities in his new role include, building best practices across all branches that support FirstOnSite’s customer focused initiatives and KPI’s. He will work closely with branch and regional teams, providing ongoing operations support and training. He will also be overseeing the direction of a number of FirstOnSite’s Prairie branches, specifically in Calgary, Edmonton, Grand Prairie, Medicine Hat and Saskatoon.
Getson is also a company founder and long-standing team member. She will work with Clarke, Sutherland and the national team to ensure continued delivery of unsurpassed restoration service throughout her regional operations. She previously served as vice-president of operations in Atlantic Canada where she developed and implemented successful strategic operational initiatives across the region, and also played a big role in restoration efforts in Fort McMurray
