Additech, a North American outsourced operator of at-the-pump additive and interactive merchandising systems has hired Farah Jumshyd to head up its Marketing department as chief marketing officer.

“We are looking forward to having Farah lead our marketing efforts,” said Bolling (Bo) Sasnett III, Additech’s president and CEO. “She brings considerable expertise from both an automotive and consumer marketing standpoint and we expect her energy and enthusiasm to enable a step change in our business performance.”

Jumshyd is a successful leader who combines a creative, entrepreneurial spirit with analytical business savvy.  “I am excited to join the team,” said Jumshyd.  “While the marketing of fuel additives to consumers has always been a challenge, I believe that Additech has a competitive advantage with its dispensing technology.  With the recent changes in leadership, a solid product and key technical advantages, all the elements are in place for significant business growth.”
