Associated Equipment Corporation Announces Retirement of David Jones and Welcomes Courtney Pozner as New Distribution Sales Manager
Associated Equipment Corporation (AEC) announces the retirement of David Jones, Region Sales Manager, effective June 30, 2025. We thank David for his outstanding contributions and dedication to AEC over the past seven years. David has played a key role in growing our aftermarket distribution sales and was instrumental in establishing several new strategic customer relationships during his time with the company.
“David brought us a wealth of experience in the industry,” said Kim Cottle, President and CEO of AEC. “We will miss having David on the team, but we know he’s looking forward to spending more time with his family and enjoying his favorite pastimes—pickleball and gaming. We’re incredibly appreciative that he chose to finish his career with Associated Equipment.”
As we celebrate David’s retirement, we are equally excited to announce that Courtney Pozner has joined AEC as our new Distribution Sales Manager. Courtney brings a strong background in category management with a leading automotive supplier. Her educational foundation in Automotive Business Management, ASE Student Certifications, and familiarity with our distribution customer base made her a standout candidate for this key role.
“Courtney is a fantastic addition to our team,” added Cottle. “Her experience and insight will ensure a smooth transition and continued growth in our distribution channel.”
“I’m thrilled to join a company with such a long-standing reputation for quality and innovation,” said Pozner. “It’s an honor to work for a U.S.-based manufacturer, and I’m looking forward to strengthening Associated’s market presence.”
