David Hudson, President of Matsuura Machinery USA, has declared his intention to retire after ten years with the company. Billy Bogue, currently Vice President of Sales and Marketing, will take over as interim president. Hudson, a 35-year industry veteran and 10 years with Matsuura, is credited with generating growth while retaining a high level of solid client relationships and innovative solutions.
“I’m proud of everything we’ve accomplished at Matsuura USA, as well as the talented and dedicated people I’ve had the pleasure of working with,” Hudson adds. “It has been a tremendous honour to be given the opportunity to lead this fantastic company.” I am still dedicated to collaborating closely with the board and Matsuura’s interim president, Billy Bogue, to ensure a smooth transition.”Bogue, who has nearly 40 years of experience, will join Matsuura as national sales manager in 2021. He was soon elevated to vice president of sales and marketing.
“We have complete faith in Billy as he assumes the role and responsibilities of acting President, which is the result of a careful and deliberate long-term succession planning process.” “Billy brings a wealth of strategic and executive leadership experience, and we are delighted to hand over the role of acting president to Billy,” says Matsuura Corporation President Katsutoshi Matsuura.
