TLLE Guided Through Current Transition by an Established Management Team
Texas-based Teletouch Communications, a long-standing communications and consumer electronics company, has been going through a significant transition, restructuring itself into becoming a nationwide communications/consumer electronics distribution leader. It’s a change made possible by the fact that the company’s management team has been with Teletouch for many years. Members of the team have an intimate knowledge of the company and the communications/electronics industry.
Refocusing a corporation can affect every operational aspect, from management and marketing, to distribution and finance. An executive team that is 100% behind the move, in addition to being able to draw on a combined familiarity with every aspect of the company’s operations, together with a long history in the industry, gives a directional change every chance of success.
The Teletouch team has enough experience working together and guiding the company through various successful acquisitions over the past decade that the chance of a misstep is greatly reduced.
• Robert M. McMurrey (Chairman, CEO) has over 25 years with the wireless industry, and has been a controlling shareholder of the predecessor to Teletouch for longer than that. He guided the company’s original expansion with the completion of 16 acquisitions, including the acquisition of PCI, the company’s major distribution arm, in 2001. He has extensive experience in acquiring, financing, and operating wireless and other companies.
• Thomas ‘Kip’ A. Hyde, Jr. (President, COO) has been with Teletouch since 2002, and was key to the restructuring, operation, and later divestiture of the Hawk Security Home & Commercial Services unit of PCI for a substantial ROI. He has far-reaching experience in corporate mergers and acquisitions, in addition to Fortune 500 senior management experience.
• Douglas E. Sloan (CFO) has been with Teletouch since 1998, and has comprehensive experience in the financial aspects of mergers and acquisitions. He also carries a CPA, and was a Sr. Auditor with Ernst & Young.
• Michael A. Dickens (SVP Operations) joined PCI, now part of Teletouch, in 1995, and has many years of experience in retail operations, marketing, and merchandising.
• Steven S. Carpenter (SVP Information Technology), one of PCI’s original employees, developed the company’s CRM, Billing, and Customer Service IT systems.
• Debbie J. Schreier (VP Human Resources), CPA, MBA, and one of the company’s longest employees, is now responsible for all company HR operations.
• Timmy Monico (Wholesale Distribution Division Head) is a 30-year veteran of the wireless and distribution industries, and is the newest addition to the team.
