August 2020
As of August 1, Bill Dodge has stepped down from his role as CEO.
The current global travel restrictions due to COVID-19 has meant that, for the foreseeable future, Bill would no longer be able to regularly travel from his base in the USA to properly conduct his duties in New Zealand. Buckley Systems would like to thank him for his invaluable contribution steering the company as CEO over the last three and a half years.
Our Board of Directors has appointed Arron Sands to the role of CEO, while Bill will remain on as Vice President of Global Sales, working full-time from Buckley Systems International in Rowley, Massachusetts. The appointment of Arron Sands was part of the succession plans of the Board and he brings his hands-on experience as COO at Buckley Systems to his new role.
It is anticipated that our customers will see no obvious change, as Bill Dodge will still be the main point of contact for sales and technical inquiries.
