The announcement was made by STIHL Southeast, Inc. owner Bob Noble, Sr. “This is without a doubt the most difficult few days I have experienced,” said Noble, Sr. “JR was not only my son, he was a great friend and leader. He absolutely loved his employees and was very proud of the accomplishments our company experienced since he became president. I am going to miss him every day.”
“I felt it necessary to continue the company’s direction without the need for any major changes,” added Noble, Sr. “Randy was the logical choice to take over the reins. He has done a superlative job as our vice president of finance and I have complete confidence he will continue the path JR set. Our entire executive group will remain intact and I will be more involved in major decisions moving forward.”
“I am completely humbled that SR has the faith and trust in me to lead this company,” said Lail. “I know that this has been difficult for him as well as all of JR’s family and friends. I want to assure our customers and employees that the direction JR set for STIHL Southeast will not change whatsoever. However, one of this company’s main assets is its willingness to be innovative when it comes to new programs and initiatives. That trait certainly has been a major contributor to our success and with the strength of our executives and employees, I am confident that we will continue to lead the industry.”
Lail was raised in Orlando, FL with a Bachelor of Science in accounting from the University of Central Florida. He is a certified public accountant.
