Former ADP Executive Joins Leading Waste and Recycling Company

East Hartford, CT. (July 6, 2009)--OAKLEAF, a leading provider of sustainable waste logistics and recycling solutions, has announced the hiring of John LaMancuso as Chief Sales Officer.

ADP is one of the world’s largest providers of businesses outsourcing solutions, with almost $9 billion in revenues and more than 585,000 clients. Throughout his 25 years with ADP, LaMancuso held management roles with increasing levels of responsibility.  Most recently he served as Senior Vice President of Sales for the Major Accounts Division in Parsippany, NJ.  While at ADP, LaMancuso successfully implemented the sales team reorganization, resulting in a 10% increase in market share and a 20% increase in sales. 

“We are excited to have someone with an established track record of success joining our team,” says Jim Barnes, OAKLEAF CEO.  “John brings exactly the kind of leadership and determination OAKLEAF was founded upon.”

In his role as Chief Sales Officer, LaMancuso will position OAKLEAF as a total solution that encompasses the four smaller divisions, and implement strategies to effectively cross market those services. Leading a sales force of 60, LaMancuso will be responsible for all sales efforts and initiatives for the waste logistics and recycling division, OAKLEAF’s largest business unit, which currently generates over $525 million in revenue. LaMancuso will push pipeline development, and evaluate best practices to facilitate a best-in-class sales infrastructure.  The National Sales Team, led by Scott Sauerbier, and the Regional Sales Team, led by Ray Hatch, will report to LaMancuso.  In addition he will play an important role as an executive team member in operational, strategic and M&A discussions.
