Power Climber, a division of SafeWorks, LLC last week appointed Dennis Garafolo national sales manager.
Garafolo brings 25 years of sales management experience in construction and safety products to Power Climber. Prior to joining SafeWorks, Garafalo held territory and regional sales roles before advancing to national sales manager with Safety Industrial Netting Co. In 1999, Garafolo joined Spider as national product manager in its safety manufacturing business. More recently, he moved to a territory sales position focusing dually on promoting aftermarket service revenue streams from permanently installed window-washing equipment and serving contractor’s suspended access needs in the New York and New England markets.
Well-regarded as a consultative, solutions-seller, Garafolo’s work earlier in his career training OSHA compliance officers and acting as a regional technical resource across resellers and end-user groups strengthens Power Climber’s market leadership..
“Dennis’ extensive dealer development background, his OSHA credentials and his firsthand sales knowledge of contractors’ suspended access needs offers expertise rare among sales leaders,” said Liz Callahan vice president, marketing. “Our dealers value the customer-inspired, innovative product line Power Climber offers to simplify the work of the professional fleet owner. Dennis’ direct experience as a fleet owner and in all aspects of the sales cycle opens special opportunities for Power Climber dealers.”
The addition of Garafolo comes with the announcement that Mike Russell will move to Power Climber’s wind division as sales manager – North American Wind.
Power Climber is headquartered in Seattle.
