Dent Wizard International has added another role for chief operating officer Addison Thomas: company president.

Thomas, who will remain COO, will take on that role effective Jan. 1.

He has been COO since 2018, and previously served as vice president of operations and regional vice president for the West.

“I continue to be humbled, honored and privileged to serve as Dent Wizard’s COO and now president,” Thomas said in a news release.

“While my goal will be to continue to advance our strategy as a growth company, I will be focused on two key areas in support of our strategy: I want to continue to increase our value proposition to our customers so we are a true partner supporting their goals; and I want to continue to make Dent Wizard a great place for a career, providing unique and rewarding opportunities for our team members to grow and maximize their potential,” he said.

Dent Wizard chief executive officer Mike Black said: “I am excited about the experience, skill, and passion Addison brings to this position. His combination of strategic approach, creative problem solving, and analytical thought processes have been invaluable. As COO he’s helped Dent Wizard achieve our growth goals and deliver our value proposition to customers. And more impressively he’s stayed the course on these objectives while navigating through the COVID-altered environment.”
