“I am very excited to be joining the team here at AMT,” Christopher said. “Having spent my entire career developing markets for manufacturers, I believe I bring with me an understanding of our member’s challenges and can help them as they work to expand their markets, increase their sales, and improve their bottom line.”
Steve Lesnewich will be taking on the new role of Vice President – Member Services where he will be working closely with members to fully understand and utilize AMT’s full complement of products and services, as well as working with the membership to develop new ones.
“With Steve’s vast knowledge of our industry, our members and our products, he is in the perfect position to help members identify and utilize the vast array of products and services AMT offers to either help our members increase sales or decrease costs,” said Woods.
Lesnewich added, “During the past three years that I spent overseeing MTInsight and Global Services, I have learned even more about AMT’s products and how they best benefit our members. I want each member company to be aware of and take advantage of the opportunities available to them.”
