About The Position

TurboMist is entering its next stage of growth with the opportunity to accelerate geographic expansion, strengthen the team, and grow a respected agricultural equipment brand into a broader specialty-ag platform. The President will lead the business with the backing of Decisive Dividend Corporation, providing access to capital, shared resources, and long-term support. This is a true business leadership role with full P&L responsibility and the authority to shape the organization required for success.

Requirements

Proven success growing a regional business into multiple geographies, ideally through dealer or distributor networks.
Experience in a professionally managed business of approximately $25 million or more, with multiple product lines and increasing organizational complexity.
Meaningful exposure to both sales and engineering, with the ability to connect customer needs, dealer feedback, technical development, pricing, and commercial execution.
Strong practical understanding of financial planning and analysis, including forecasting, budgeting, costing, margin management, pricing, inventory, working capital, and resource allocation.
The ideal President is primarily strategic but knows when to become involved in the details.
Externally oriented and energized by working with people.
A disciplined, detailed, and consistent communicator, particularly with a geographically dispersed team.
Decision oriented and capable of acting with imperfect information when delay creates greater risk than action.
Resilient and patient, with the persistence to build markets, dealer confidence, and long-term relationships.
A servant leader who creates clarity, removes obstacles, develops people, and earns credibility through involvement.
Known externally as a trusted advisor who understands the customer, communicates honestly, and follows through.

Nice To Haves

Agricultural machinery experience is strongly preferred; adjacent equipment-sector experience may be considered where international channel growth is highly relevant.
Experience managing outsourced manufacturing partners is preferred.
Demonstrated experience is more important than formal credentials.

Maintain strong financial discipline across forecasting, budgeting, pricing, margins, inventory, working capital, and resource allocation.
Own the full P&L and translate strategy into clear operating priorities, measurable plans, and accountable execution.
Lead the team responsible for geographic expansion and dealer development while remaining directly involved in key relationships, negotiations, and market-entry decisions.
Own strategic manufacturing partnerships, including partner selection, commercial terms, cost, quality, delivery, and long-term performance.
Set product strategy and R&D priorities with engineering leadership, ensuring innovation remains customer-led and commercially relevant.
Assess, retain, develop, restructure, and add to the leadership team as required; design the organization and roles needed for growth.
Ensure delegated functions including parts, warranty, customer support, and operations perform to clear standards through strong leadership and accountability.
