Vulcan Adds Senior Director of Sales and Corporate Chef

Vulcan, a FEDA manufacturer member and a division of ITW Food Equipment Group (ITW FEG), announced two strategic leadership appointments to its sales and culinary team.

Amber Pfohl joined the company as senior director of sales. With more than a decade of experience in the foodservice industry, she will oversee all sales functions within Vulcan, including customer service, project and design, key accounts, and street sales. Pfohl will partner closely with the ITW FEG sales force. Her leadership will be instrumental in continuing to drive organic growth and further enhance Vulcan’s reputation as easy to do business with, the company said in a news release.

Additionally, Jason Hovan was named corporate chef, bringing more than 20 years of experience in culinary innovation, program development and team leadership to the manufacturer. Hovan’s dynamic background positions him to lead Vulcan’s new culinary strategy, the company said, including elevating the impact of training and equipment demonstrations, as well as contributing to the organization’s innovation efforts.

“Amber and Jason bring a wealth of industry knowledge and proven track records,” Meghan Hurst, vice president and general manager of Vulcan, said. “Vulcan is committed to strong channel partner relationships and to ensuring we are meeting the needs of our end users. I’m confident that with Amber leading Vulcan sales efforts and Jason leading culinary initiatives, Vulcan will accelerate its growth and continue to make progress on its vision of being the dominant single brand cooking equipment company in the industry.”
