MITS Hires Distribution Industry Veteran as New VP of Sales

MITS, a leading provider of reporting and analytics solutions for distributors and manufacturers, today announced it has hired Brian Friedle, a former electrical distributor president, as the company’s new vice president of sales.

Friedle will be responsible for managing and expanding a sales operation to meet the demand for next-generation business intelligence and analytics solutions. He joins MITS from Motors and Controls Corporation (MCC), an electrical distributor. Under his stewardship, MCC tripled the size of its panel shop and started a robotics division while battling through the recession.

“Analytics are a mission critical tool for every small to medium-size distributor and manufacturer looking to secure [its] future,” said Gary Owen, CEO of MITS. “Brian’s deep understanding of these industries will enhance our ability to develop new product capabilities, content solutions, and adoption strategies that help our customers drive behavior toward their goals.”

Friedle has a degree in aeronautical and astronautical engineering from the University of Washington and is a long-standing member of Vistage Worldwide.
