Important Organizational Announcement
Dear Colleagues,
For those of you who don’t know me, I am Rick Frier, and I have been acting CoolSys CFO since February 2022.
I am writing to inform you of a change to the leadership of our organization. Effective February 20, Anesa Chaibi has transitioned from the CEO role at CoolSys. The team has made significant progress in improving operations over the last year and the organization is now positioned to move into growth mode. I am excited to let you know that I have joined the Board of Directors as Chairman, and I will kick off the next phase of growth acceleration as CEO through a transition period until we select a permanent CEO replacement.
As CEO, I will be focused on the following key areas in the coming months:
- Culture: Over the last year working at CoolSys, I have experienced firsthand the passion and dedication each of you bring to your roles every day. You are the reason CoolSys has been so successful. As a management team, we are committed to strengthening the culture at CoolSys and continuing to invest in training, safety, and benefits to ensure that CoolSys is the best-in-class employer for our technicians, engineers, and corporate employees. We take employee satisfaction seriously and we welcome any thoughts on how we can improve the CoolSys experience.
- Growth: As a leader in the large and growing market for HVAC and refrigeration solutions, CoolSys is uniquely poised to accelerate growth both organically and via acquisition. This growth will strengthen our position in the market and lead to even more opportunities for employee growth and professional development.
- Operational Excellence: There is significant opportunity to build upon the work we’ve started in more tightly integrating our acquired companies and driving improved process efficiency throughout the organization. Improvements in how we work together will result in a better experience for our customers and employees.
CoolSys has an extremely bright future! We are coming off a strong financial year in 2022, and we are well-positioned to deliver a record year of performance and high-quality service to customers.
I look forward to working with everyone across the organization in the coming months, and I appreciate everyone’s contributions to making CoolSys a world-class provider of HVAC and refrigeration solutions. Please don’t hesitate to reach out directly to any member of the executive team if you have any thoughts or questions.
Here’s to a successful 2023 and beyond!
With gratitude,
Rick Frier
Interim CEO
