ASI Announces New Business Development Manager Hire

Action Systems, Inc. announced recently that Chuck Twesten has joined the company as Regional Business Development Manager, where he is responsible for all aspects of channel sales. Chuck comes with over 30 years of experience from both a vendor and reseller perspective. Not only does he have a unique blend of technical and sales knowledge, but he also owned a dealership that marketed to the restaurant/hospitality industry. He spent the last several years as the Midwest and Southeast Regional Director of Sales for a top tier POS company, Retail Control Solutions, where he was instrumental in building and managing the sales team as well as developing existing major accounts and securing new accounts.

Chuck says that it has been very rewarding working in the hospitality/restaurant industry because he helps others improve their bottom line through better control and efficiency. “I am excited to start a new challenge with ASI and I look forward to working with the team to further develop their already extensive products and services. I am fortunate to be joining such a respected and forward-thinking company that takes a partner-centric approach to its business relationships and prides itself on offering top quality POS software products,” said Chuck.

“Chuck’s wealth of experience and industry knowledge will bring value to both our resellers and ASI. ASI is on a growth track, bringing our new Tablet/Cloud-based product, Duet, and a new version of our traditional POS product, Restaurant Manager, to market exclusively through our reseller channel. We are glad to have a person with Chuck’s experience on our team,” said Joe Finizio, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at ASI.

Chuck, who is based in St. Louis, Mo, is a long-time member of the RSPA/ICRDA, Hospitality Systems Dealer Association Board of Directors (HSDA) and the Missouri Restaurant Association Board of Directors.
