Diane Rossi joined PRO-TEK ten years ago, 15 years before that, Diane was the General Manager of Hobart in Long Island City, and PRO-TEK was one of many customers serviced by her and her Long Island City team.

​

When I got to know Diane, we forged a relationship, and as I got to know how knowledgeable she was, and learned what a strong leader she was, I set my radar on her, as person I wanted to be part of my team.

​

For at least 10 years prior to Diane joining PRO-TEK, I tried every trick in the book to entice her to join us, but no luck, she was entrenched in the HOBART world, and nothing could move her out.

​

Eleven years ago, she called me and asked if I still wanted her, she was ready to make a move, and I still felt she would be a perfect addition to PRO-TEK.

​

A short (well, maybe not so short) negotiation began, we came to terms, and the rest is history.

​

Diane is nothing short of an industry icon, and that's a result of her undying passion for customer satisfaction, industry intuitiveness, and willingness to be on the front line of service 24/7/365 (unless it's a beach day).

​

Not realizing a secondary bonus we would get by getting Diane, a few years later, we got a Diane #2, otherwise known as Dani Rossi, with no less passion for success for herself and the company.

​

Diane has dedicated herself to building dealer and manufacturer relationships and it was not easy, but her commitment and focus, resulted in successes, that we are now seeing and enjoying.

​

On behalf of our customers, the dealers, the manufacturers, and us at PRO-TEK, thank you Diane, for hanging your hat on the PRO-TEK hook.
