These team members will support all Genie products and services, working to meet customers’ equipment needs, developing new growth opportunities and focusing on customers’ business goals.
“Our sales force plays a vital role in developing, maintaining and growing relationships with our customers,” said Tom Saxelby, Genie vice president of sales, Terex AWP Americas. “Adding Nate, Jon, Connor, Matt, and Max to our team of veteran sales representatives strengthens our ability to serve our customers, as well as to meet the specific needs of the rental industry and aerial market in North America.”

“It is an honor to be part of the Genie sales team, and I look forward to meeting our valued customers in the North Carolina and Southern Virginia,” Alonzo said.
Cotts has a marketing degree with a professional sales concentration from Central Michigan University. Before joining the sales team, Cotts worked in the marketing department at Terex AWP.
“Genie has time and again proven to be the innovator of the industry, and I am ecstatic to be part of the national accounts team and contributing to the company’s continued success,” Cotts said.
Dugan received his diploma from Arizona State University-College of Integrative Sciences and Arts. His work history includes as sales manager at Shapland Golf Bags and assistant golf professional at Blackstone Country Club.
“I am grateful for the opportunity that Genie has given to me and my family,” Dugan said. “I look forward to joining the team members serving customers in the Western region, helping them obtain new levels of success.”

“I am so excited to join Genie as a second generation Genie team member (Matt’s dad is long-time Genie team member Ed Fitzsimmons), and I look forward to upholding the Genie standard by servicing customers in the South Central region, specifically in central and west Texas,” Fitzsimmons said.
