Motor Coach Industries, a subsidiary of NFI Group Inc., has named Remi Levesque regional vice president of new and preowned coach sales for Canada.
Levesque moves into the sales role after more than a decade with MCI’s technical and parts support teams. He most recently served as regional product support manager in Montreal and will now lead coach sales for the private market nationwide.
“Remi is going to make a very positive impact in this position,” said Tim Barnes, vice president of private sector sales. “His product knowledge, strong customer relationships and previous roles on the MCI team make this an easy transition. The MCI sales approach separates us in the industry, and Remi has already been a big part of this strategy for years.”
Levesque joined MCI 11 years ago and has held several technical leadership posts, including technical solutions manager for Eastern Canada. Before MCI, he worked as a heavy-duty vehicle technician and later as a shop manager for a motorcoach operator, experience the company says gives him insight from the service bay to the sales floor.
Levesque, who is bilingual in French and English, said, “I am honored and excited to step into this role. Over the past 11 years, I’ve had the privilege of working closely with many customers in Canada. I look forward to building on those relationships and creating new ones, while continuing MCI’s tradition of delivering exceptional service, innovative transportation solutions, and long-term value.”
Levesque succeeds Scotty Kesseler, who left the company for other opportunities.
