Trevor Gruenewald Appointed Chief Operating Officer

Mr. Gruenewald joined the ECi team in January 2009 as Senior Vice President and General Manager for DDMS and the Office Equipment divisions. His list of responsible business units grew to include Britannia, Team Design, OMD and La Crosse.

“His contributions to these organizations, and ECi as a whole, were quickly apparent in the first few months he was with us,” says Ron Books, President and CEO of ECi. “Trevor takes a very customer-focused approach. This customer-focused approach is consistent across all of ECi’s new Executive Team and has been adopted by all of ECi’s employees.”

Mr. Gruenewald has also been responsible for a number of broader operational areas across the company: cross vertical solutions (ecommerce, mobile, etc.), training and implementation, documentation and development/QA. As COO, Mr. Gruenewald will continue to expand his responsibilities across all business units and several corporate functional areas.

“Trevor’s contribution to the team, our partners, and customers has had a profound impact on the entire ECi organization,” Books continues. “In this new role, there is no doubt that we will see even greater results.”
