FORT MYERS, Fla. -- Brian Wright, managing partner of Executive Leadership Solutions, has announced that Mike Lowe has joined the company as a senior executive recruiter.
From 1979 to 1998, Mike worked with Stallings Oil Co. Lowe has held numerous positions at the Rocky Mount, N.C.-based company, including travel center general manager, travel center division president and operations vice president. In 1998, he transitioned to working with The Pantry Inc., Sanford, N.C., when The Pantry purchased the chain of stores from Stallings Oil.
While Lowe was with the The Pantry, he was quickly recognized for his leadership and people skills and promoted to a position in Florida to assist with recent acquisitions the company had made there.
He served in several vice president positions for The Pantry from 1998 until 2007 when he joined Executive Leadership Solutions.
Lowe has been in retail management positions most of his life, where he learned he was really "in the people business" and happened to sell various goods and services, the company said, adding that during his almost 30 years in management positions, he learned from the "hiring side of the desk" the importance of quality people.
Fort Myers, Fla.-based Executive Leadership Solutions is a major executive search firm specializing in executive recruitment for the convenience store, petroleum, travel center and related supplier industries.
