In this new role, Stephen will be responsible for the performance, strategy, and alignment of all departments within the company that relate to revenue generation. He will oversee the identification and delivery of new revenue opportunities in target markets, grow Catania Oils’ customer base and create a sustainable strategy for future growth.
Prior to this position, Stephen served as the Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing for nine years.

I’m excited to take on this new role and bring our family business to a whole new level of growth and excellence.”
