After 43 years with JP Patti, a Tecta America Company, Jim Wisse has announced his retirement, capping a career that included more than 20 years as Operating Unit President.
During his tenure, Jim helped lead the company’s continued growth following its inclusion as one of Tecta America’s original 10 founding companies.
“I feel very fortunate to have worked for two great companies for my entire career,” shared Jim. “JP Patti has always been very reputable and highly regarded, and Tecta is, unquestionably, the leader in the market. My dad worked 45 years at JP Patti, and knowing our family has contributed to JP’s and Tecta’s success is really something to be proud of.”
For Jim, this milestone carries a sense of full circle. More than 20 years ago, he succeeded longtime Operating Unit President Charley Volpe in one of Tecta America’s first Operating Unit President succession transitions, and now Aaron Pilch steps into the role Jim has held for two decades.
“Jim has been an outstanding leader for JP Patti and has played an important role in the company’s success for more than four decades,” said Todd Stugelmayer, Chief Operating Officer of Tecta America. “We’re grateful for his leadership and wish him all the best as he enters into retirement.”
In retirement, Jim is looking forward to spending time outdoors, gardening, and traveling with his wife, along with plenty of time with family and grandchildren.
Please join us in thanking Jim for his exceptional leadership and many contributions over the past 43 years, and in wishing him continued success in this new chapter.
