Boyd Group Services Inc. has reshuffled its senior leadership, filling two new senior roles.
“These enhancements to our leadership structure have been implemented to add further strength to our executive team and align our organization with the evolving needs of the business,” said Brian Kaner, president and chief executive officer.
The Winnipeg-based company appointed Steve Hoeft (left)as chief operating officer for its U.S. collision business. He arrives after 9 years at Bridgestone Americas, where he most recently led the commercial truck group, overseeing a network of about 4,000 locations across the U.S. and Canada. His remit now spans U.S. collision operations, mobile solutions, procurement and safety.
“Steve Hoeft’s extensive experience across a large commercial network of approximately 4,000 locations makes him the ideal leader to champion our operational strategy," Kaner said. "In this role, he will oversee the U.S. collision operations, mobile solutions, procurement, continuous improvement & operational excellence, as well as safety, ensuring we continue to strengthen our market position, advance our strategic and corporate objectives and deliver the highest quality service across our U.S. collision business.”
At the same time, Zach Balthrop (right) moves into a newly created chief commercial officer role. He joined Boyd in 2024 and previously led its South Division. The new position consolidates responsibility for sales, marketing, client performance and M&A, with a focus on strengthening relationships across business lines. Cameron Dickson will replace Balthrop as senior vice-president of the South Division.
