PEACHTREE CORNERS, Ga. — Mighty Distributing System of America has added the CEO title to President Josh D'Agostino's duties at the company, and hired Ashley Druica as vice president of marketing.
D'Agostino, who was promoted to president in 2020, now has responsibilities for sales, franchise operations, franchise development, IT, human resources, and office administration as well as operations and competitive acquisitions.
Ken Voelker continues as the firm's chairman.
D'Agostino joined Mighty in 2016 as vice president of business development. Prior to that, he was director of new business development for Genuine Parts Co./NAPA Auto Parts, where he focused on recruiting prospects for NAPA store ownership, competitive acquisitions, and managing a store ownership loan program guaranteed by Genuine Parts Company.
"Serving as Mighty's president and CEO was certainly beyond my expectations when I joined the company," D'Agostino said. "We are seeing tremendous growth within our organization, and I'm honored and extremely fortunate to lead a team dedicated to providing the best support to our franchise partners."
Druica brings 14 years of experience as a brand marketing leader, most recently as director of marketing for Okinus Credit Solutions, to her new role at Mighty.
She has a background in traditional and digital marketing, including design, communications, public relations, print, video, social networking, and digital media, according to Mighty.
Earlier in her career, Ashley ran the marketing department for a non-profit established in 1891, working with the New York Yankees, United Parce Service, Tiffany's and the New York Times.
"These organizational changes position Mighty for continued growth and success," Voelker said. "Josh has had a tremendous impact on Mighty over the last six years, and his appointment as CEO recognizes past contributions and positions him to lead Mighty into the future.
"Ashley has quickly demonstrated outstanding marketing capabilities and leadership skills in building her team to enhance Mighty's market position. These positive changes to Mighty's leadership continue Mighty's evolution as an industry-leading distribution system."
Peachtree Corners-based Mighty, a franchisor of vehicle parts distribution businesses, supports 100 franchised distributors in 44 U.S. states and five international markets.
