Tim Higgs, ACDI
Benton, AR (Nov. 19, 2018) — Access Control Devices Inc. (ACDI), a leading distributor of PaperCut software in North America, announced today that Tim Higgs has joined the company as a regional solutions manager.
Higgs comes to ACDI with 18 years of management experience in the office equipment industry. His proven ability to understand challenges and opportunities from front-line to high-level stakeholders will be key in growing ACDI’s reseller network in the south central region. In his new role, Higgs will continue to nurture long-standing partnerships with prominent office equipment resellers.
Jeff McWilliams, director of sales for ACDI, remarked, “Tim has very unique experience from winning equipment, software, and professional services deals to effectively managing profit and loss statements. He has a well-rounded understanding of the challenges and opportunities that sales reps face, as well as ownership. His unique skill to understand salespeople and owners alike will be a huge asset to ACDI.”
The newly appointed regional sales manager anticipates a seamless transition of major accounts from preceding South Central Regional Solutions Manager Jason Andrews. After six years of service with ACDI, Andrews will assume a new sales leadership role as national sales manager, overseeing the company’s seven regional managers.
“Jason Andrews has been with us for over six years and consistently exceeds expectations. Promoting him into a leadership role was an easy decision but back-filling his position was far more difficult,” said Stephanie Goodwin, People & Culture manager, ACDI. “When Tim approached ACDI, timing was everything. We were ready. Having him join our team is a blessing to the ACDI family and his knowledge of the channel will prove to be extremely beneficial.”
“I am thrilled to work with this team and play a key role in the company’s growth strategy,” stated Higgs. “With ACDI’s leadership and unique ability to deliver complete document lifecycle solutions, the sky is the limit. Our reputation speaks for itself and I’m excited to continue building the relationships that we’ve established in the channel.”
Prior to joining ACDI, Higgs served at Toshiba America Business Solutions Inc. in an executive management role, including positions as vice president of Enterprise Services and vice president of sales in the Kentucky marketplace. He has nearly two decades of combined sales leadership experience across the office equipment industry, namely software sales and office automation technology.
In his personal time, Higgs is an avid fisherman and a diehard Kentucky Wildcat fan who enjoys outdoor activities with his two children.
