Bayview Group names co-presidents

The leadership change introduces the third generation of the Nagle family into executive roles at the dealership group. The company said Chris and Adam Nagle have played key roles in supporting the growth of its Kenworth and Kubota operations across the region.

“Over the years, both have demonstrated strong leadership, sound judgment, and a deep commitment to our people, our values, and our long-term vision. I am confident in their ability to lead our organization into its next chapter of growth and success,” the company said in a news release.

Bayview Group said the appointments reflect its long-term leadership transition and continued focus on serving trucking, construction, agricultural and transportation customers across Atlantic Canada.

Dusseau will be enhancing organizational alignment and accountability in her expanded role, focusing on advancing Fleet Advantage’s data-driven strategy and supporting corporate development initiatives.

Matthew Wiedmeyer – who’s been a member of the Asset Performance Team for more than five years – has been promoted to senior director of asset performance and maintenance. Over the past year, he assumed a leadership role supporting Fleet Advantage’s maintenance partnerships, which enabled the company to provide creative solutions for customers throughout both active lease periods and off-lease transitions.

Meanwhile, Wesley Hall has been named senior director of asset performance and off-lease.

And Joseph Rugare has been named senior fleet and transaction analyst after recently celebrating his four-year anniversary with the company.
