Recently, LPi promoted Tim Potrikus from Vice President of Sales to Chief Revenue Officer. Considering his recent achievements, we thought we’d ask him a few questions about himself and his time at LPi to get a look into the life of our newly appointed CRO.
Q. Hi Tim! How long have you worked for LPi and in what capacity?
A. My initial start was in 1992 as an LPi “Marketing Rep” (it was the old job title for today’s Communication Consultants) and then Marketing Manager. The job was to sign new accounts, retain renewals, and assist a team of five others in Hartford, Connecticut. From there, I took on a special project for LPi in Salt Lake City, Utah. When the project ended, I was offered jobs in Minneapolis and Milwaukee, but both were cities to which my wife didn’t want to move. LPi supported me through a search for a new job which I held for several years. I was invited back to LPi in 2004 when my original boss was planning on retiring as VP/Director for the Hartford location.
Q. Please tell us a little about yourself and what you do for fun.
A.
My wife, Lisa and I spend the winter months in our RV in Florida with plans to travel across the U.S. particularly into the Southwest in a year or two. In the summer, we take it to any live music we can find, from Boston Symphony and their Popular Artists Series (think James Taylor, Brandi Carlisle, Train) in the Berkshires in western Massachusetts, to festivals like Green River with up-and-coming artists along with older bands. We love having all our stuff with us when we go, and we bring along the Jeep and our electric bikes for trips once we’re set up.
Q. Word on the street is that you come from a big Catholic family and belong to a small church that is an LPi customer?
A. I’m one of 11 kids, my wife is one of four, we have two of our own. Our two, Sarah and Eric, are both doing well in their own lives in Worcester, Massachusetts and Atlanta, Georgia. Our travel schedule/lifestyle means that I don’t participate in our local parish as much as I used to — I served several years on the finance council and as a trustee of the parish, but we’ve left that to the next generation of volunteers who are home year-round.
Q. Thanks Tim! Lastly, what’s your favorite thing about working for LPi?
A. I’ve always taken my roles at LPi to heart. I know the decisions that I and others on the leadership and management teams make affect the lives of 350 families who count on us to run the company successfully. I’ve enjoyed being part of a company that truly embraces its employees for all they are — all they can do — and all they can achieve. It is a GREAT PLACE to build a career!
Congratulations, Tim, on your new position. We’re proud to have you on our leadership team!
