NAFECO appoints new chief executive
NAFECO has appointed Brandon Oaks as Chief Executive Officer and President, effective immediately, in Decatur, Alabama.
The company said Oaks moved into the role from Chief Operating Officer after the recent death of founder and longtime CEO Jerrell Oaks.
NAFECO serves first responders and public safety organisations across the Southeastern United States.
His appointment continues the Oaks family’s leadership of the business and follows a succession process Jerrell Oaks had worked to build during his career.
NAFECO details continuity plans
As Chief Operating Officer, Oaks oversaw daily business operations and key vendor and customer relationships.
He also worked on supply chain strategy and long-term planning across the company’s core markets.
Brian Oaks, Vice President of Administration, said: “Brandon has been instrumental in the operational strength of this company for years.
“His passion for NAFECO, his deep respect for our father’s vision, and his commitment to every member of this team make him the right leader to carry this company into its next chapter.
“We are proud to move forward together.”
The company said Oaks will lead the business with a focus on continuity and on the customer-first values it associates with the company.
