Equipment distributor Parts Town Unlimited has announced the appointment of two seasoned executives to its global leadership team, reinforcing its ongoing strategy to scale operations, accelerate digital transformation, and navigate complex financial landscapes. The strategic leadership updates introduce a new chief information officer to spearhead the company’s technological advancements and a new chief accounting officer to manage global financial structures.

The executive moves come just over a year after Bill Geary stepped into the chief executive officer position at Parts Town Unlimited. Geary emphasized the critical importance of both appointments in a corporate statement, pointing to the distinct expertise each executive brings to the table as the distributor continues to expand its footprint across multiple markets.

"Pat’s proven ability to turn technology into a strategic growth engine and unlock the full potential of AI-driven innovation, combined with Kristi’s deep expertise in multi-billion-dollar M&A transactions and finance transformation, makes them exceptional additions to our global leadership team," Geary stated. He added that their collective leadership significantly strengthens the company’s capability to scale globally, accelerate overall growth, and cultivate the deep expertise required to capitalize on emerging opportunities and ensure long-term corporate success.

Who is Parts Town Unlimited’s New CIO?

To oversee its extensive digital efforts and technology infrastructure, Parts Town Unlimited has appointed Pat Quint as its new chief information officer. Quint steps into the role with a robust background in leading digital strategies for major industrial and commercial enterprises. Most recently, he served as the chief information officer at Duravant, a global industrial manufacturing solutions provider. Prior to his tenure at Duravant, Quint held the position of chief information officer at Mastronardi Produce, where he similarly directed complex technology initiatives.

In his new capacity at Parts Town Unlimited, Quint will be tasked with executing the company’s ambitious technology strategy. This strategy heavily incorporates crucial automation and cutting-edge artificial intelligence-powered technologies designed to streamline operations and enhance the customer experience. Among these initiatives is Parts Town’s proprietary PartPredictor tool, an AI-backed feature that received significant software updates earlier in the year.

The distributor operates extensively within the foodservice sector, while also maintaining a strong market presence in the distribution of residential appliances and heating, ventilation, and air conditioning equipment. As these industries increasingly adopt digital-first ordering and inventory management solutions, Quint’s leadership is expected to play a vital role in maintaining the company’s competitive edge in B2B ecommerce and supply chain efficiency.

Reflecting on his new appointment, Quint expressed enthusiasm for joining the organization. "It’s a privilege to work at Parts Town Unlimited given the impressive history, talented team, innovative solutions and focus on exceeding customer expectations," Quint stated in the company’s official announcement. "I look forward to helping the company achieve their goals by leveraging technology."

Parts Town Unlimited’s Chief Accounting Officer

Alongside the appointment of a new CIO, Parts Town Unlimited has named Kristi Belhumeur as its chief accounting officer. Belhumeur is a certified public accountant who brings 25 years of extensive leadership experience in financial management to the distributor. In her new role, she will oversee the company’s global accounting, tax, and treasury organizations, guiding the financial infrastructure as the enterprise continues to grow through both organic expansion and strategic transactions.

Belhumeur transitions to Parts Town Unlimited after serving for nearly two years as the chief accounting officer at BradyPlus, a prominent distributor specializing in janitorial supplies, foodservice, and industrial packaging. Her extensive background encompasses financial transformation and the navigation of complex corporate landscapes.

Company leadership noted that Belhumeur’s expertise will be particularly valuable in supporting future mergers and acquisitions, bolstering audit procedures, and ensuring enterprise readiness across the global organization. Her experience in handling multi-billion-dollar M&A transactions aligns directly with Parts Town Unlimited’s growth trajectory in the equipment and replacement parts distribution market.

"Parts Town Unlimited has built an extraordinary business, and I look forward to applying my global finance leadership experience to help accelerate growth, support strategic expansion and deliver outstanding results for team members, customers and partners," said Belhumeur upon her appointment.

The integration of Quint and Belhumeur into the executive team highlights Parts Town Unlimited’s ongoing commitment to investing in high-level talent capable of managing the complexities of a rapidly evolving commercial distribution landscape. By aligning advanced technological innovation led by Quint with the disciplined financial and structural oversight provided by Belhumeur, the company is positioning itself to navigate future market demands, support ongoing digital commerce initiatives, and sustain its long-term corporate objectives.
