Maritz Names Carrie Hanichak COO, GM of Engagement Solutions
Carrie Hanichak has been named Chief Operating Officer and General Manager of Engagement Solutions at Maritz Inc., St. Louis. She was most recently
Vice President, Corporate Strategy and Incentives. In her new role, Hanichak will focus on driving growth and operational performance for the division that helps Fortune 500 companies increase channel partner engagement, grow customer loyalty, enhance employee experience and exceed sales performance goals.
Over her 18 years with Maritz, Hanichak has held numerous roles in the organization, bringing diverse experience incorporating strategy, rewards, marketing, travel, events and finance into her new role, the company says. Her unique expertise across functions positions the solution group for continued growth and operational excellence.
David Peckinpaugh, President and CEO of Maritz, says, “Carrie has strategically built her career within Maritz, and this role is a perfect fit. She has the full support of our ownership and board, and I am extremely confident in the future of Engagement Solutions at Maritz with Carrie at the helm.”
Steve Gallant, who previously held this position, will now focus exclusively on his role as Executive Vice President and General Counsel for Maritz. This allows him to concentrate on legal and strategic affairs across the entire Maritz enterprise and act as a strategic advisor and counsel to the Maritz family. Says Gallant, “Carrie brings clarity, steadiness and a sharp sense of what we need next. She listens and leads with purpose and is ready to move these solutions forward.
