Positec Tool Corporation today announced that Sid Levy, Jr. has been appointed Vice President of Human Resources, effective June 12. Levy joins Positec in a critical role managing human capital, but brings a diverse background of management in many different business fields. Levy started his career in brand management, launching products for storied companies like Nabisco Foods and Colgate-Palmolive. He then transitioned to a marketing focus with Director-level roles in the sports industry, including as the Director of Marketing for the National Football League. Most recently, in an HR capacity, Levy was Vice President of Talent Management & Associate Engagement for Extended Stay America, Inc., where he built and led strategy for corporate culture and values, employee engagement, leadership development and talent acquisition.
“Levy is a rare-find-hire in the business world with such diverse and impactful experience across different disciplines with multiple brands that are household names,” stated Michael Jones, President and CEO of Positec North America. “We are thrilled to bring his knowledge and expertise onboard as the leader of our HR department, and look forward to how his comprehensive business understanding will strengthen our team in every department.”
Levy’s career has been defined by cross-company collaboration to build programs that yield measurable results. At Positec, Levy will work with leaders of each department to identify needs and design solutions while simultaneously strengthening existing resources and furthering the already stellar corporate culture.
In the community Levy has served the greater Charlotte-Mecklenburg area as a board member for MeckEd Community Organization, the Charlotte Chamber of Commerce Board of Advisors, the CPCC Foundation, the Charlotte Chapter of the 100 Black Men, the Charlotte Sports Commission and the Georgetown University African American Advisory Board. Currently Levy is on the executive committee for the Charlotte chapter of Sigma Pi Phi Fraternity, a service organization for professionals, and serves as its head of communications.
