Vending equipment distributor Automated Services International Inc. announced changes to its team to help it better serve the convenience services market.
Francesca Loparco, who recently celebrated five years with ASI, was promoted to senior vice president. She will continue her oversight of finance and marketing while also aiding in the growth of the sales team in 2025 and beyond.
In addition, Lindel Creed joined ASI as its new vice president of sales.
“Lindel has been a valued friend and esteemed business colleague since his time as our director of operations in the mid-1990s. He remained with us until we transitioned to focus primarily on operations in Russia, at which time Lindel launched Vendweb.com,” said ASI President Joe Loparco in a release.
“Lindel is an incredible asset in many ways and embodies both personal and professional integrity — a truly unique combination. We feel fortunate to welcome him back to the ASI family,” he concluded.
ASI also recognized Geoff Gardner, service manager, for 35 years of service to the company.
