“We’re thrilled to have Richelle join our team,” said John Beering, CEO of Red Dot. “She brings a track record of building strong, forward-thinking teams and improving operations in complex, innovative segments. Her experience and collaboration-first mindset will be a huge asset as we continue to elevate our operations and expand into new industries across the OEM and aftermarket space.”

There’s loyalty, talent and a real drive to do things better. I’m excited to listen, learn and partner with the team to unlock the full potential of what we can do in Puyallup.”
