CEO Message

Greetings & Happy New Year to all of you! I hope that 2022 was a successful year for you. As you are aware, 2022 was a year of change for our organization, with new ownership and a new outlook for growth in our products and services. This is my first CEO article for the newsletter, and I’m looking forward to this communication channel to help keep you informed from my perspective! As we look at 2023, we have many exciting product enhancements on our Product Roadmap for this year, and our team has already been working hard to implement these new features as quickly as possible. We will be working more closely with our customers to keep you informed on the details of the Product Roadmap. We will look for your input and feedback to help us continue improving our product offering and ensure we are helping your organization meet your growth efficiency goals. We had previously communicated that Duane Lankard handed over the reins and CEO title to me last October because he looked forward to retirement. With mixed emotions, I announce that Duane has decided to take that leap and will be retiring and leaving our company at the end of February. While I am very excited for Duane to be taking this opportunity to enjoy his retirement while he’s still healthy and young enough to do so, I am losing my long-term mentor, ally, and confessor. Duane and I have worked together in some capacity for nearly my entire professional career, and I wish him all the best in his new (more relaxing) journey! We are all very grateful for his leadership, vision, tenacity, fairness, and level-headedness, and he will be sorely missed. If you get a chance, please reach out to him and wish him well – dlankard@suntell.com.We thank you all for your continued support and partnership. Please don’t hesitate to email us at support@suntell.com if you have any questions, want to check out some of the features we implemented over the last year, or discuss our plans for this year!
