ELGIN, IL, May 14, 2017 – K40 Electronics has announced the promotion of Rachel Clark to Vice President of Sales and Marketing. Rachel previously had been National Sales Manager.

“Rachel has, literally, risen through the ranks,” said Peggy Finley, President and CEO of K40. “She started with us in 1999 testing CB radio antennas and working in the warehouse. Eventually, she became a Regional Sales Manager before earning the National Sales Manager position. Her ability to communicate the K40 story, her dedication to the independent dealer and her rich network of relationships among other 12-volt manufactures have been instrumental in the growth and success of K40.”

Clark will assume the day-to-day duties of managing the company from Finley, who started with K40 as a Regional Sales Manager in 1981 moving up the ranks herself before purchasing the company in 2009. Clark will work closely with Debbie Grex, K40’s Vice President of Operations.

“I am grateful for Peggy’s trust, but more than that, I am grateful for her friendship,” Clark said. “I am excited about the opportunity to lead our great team and build on K40’s success.”

Finley concurred, adding, “I’m lucky. Rachel and our entire team have given me the luxury of spending time with my family and my grandchildren. Having such capable leadership and such a solid group in place leaves me fully confident that the K40 will continue to create lasting relationships and great radar products that lead the industry.”
