Jamie Foley, chief executive officer of Foley Incorporated, announced that Ryan Foley, formerly vice president of Foley Rents, has been promoted to president of the company effective immediately.

Ryan Foley began his career at Foley Inc. in September of 1999, when he assumed the role of customer support representative of the construction division. In January of 2002, he was promoted to the position of business manager of Foley Express Hydraulics. During his time as business manager, Ryan oversaw the re-engineering of the hydraulic shop, led the creation of a dedicated hose shop, and increased hydraulic parts and service revenue by 24 percent in two years.

In June of 2003, Ryan was promoted to heavy construction sales manager, where he was responsible for all heavy construction transactions. Under his leadership, in 2004 the dealership delivered the most machines in company history. In February 2005 he was promoted to vice president, customer relationships. In this position he helped the organization strengthen customer relationships, better understand their needs and ensured that Foley Inc. continued to do everything possible to meet these needs.

During Ryan’s 15-year tenure with the company, he has served in a variety of capacities, most recently as vice president of Foley Rents, a position he began in August of 2007.

“Over the past seven years, Ryan and his team have propelled Foley Rents to top-quartile performance among our Cat dealer peers. This promotion is in recognition of Ryan’s strengths and abilities, as well as my desire to have Ryan fully engaged as my partner in running our company,” Jamie Foley said.

As Foley Inc. fulfills the company mission of “creating customer experiences that create customers for life,” Ryan will bring an added external focus on customers.

“This marks our 57th year as a Caterpillar dealer, a journey that our grandfather began in 1957. It is my sincere belief that, as we strive to continually improve as a company, this move will further ensure our success for future generations to come. I look forward to continuing to strengthen the organization with Ryan by my side,” said Jamie Foley.
