Pacific Office Automation (POA), the largest independent office equipment dealer in the U.S., announced the appointment of Adam Pritchett as CEO effective immediately. The announcement was made internally to employees on Jan. 2 and will be announced to customers through local staff.

Pritchett, a 21-year veteran of the company, replaces Doug Pitassi, who had taken a leave of absence from POA last fall. Pritchett has led the company since Oct. 1, when Pitassi stepped aside. He previously served as vice president of POA’s Southwest region.

Ideally, we would have engaged Tony Robbins to speak to you about potential, success in business and striving to find your better self. It doesn’t take Robbins, one of the most recognizable motivational speakers of the last 20 years, to help shed some light on how to enhance your B2B relationships. Plus, we couldn’t afford him, anyway.

Fortunately, as part of the January State of the Industry report on trends and predictions, we asked our panelists to perform a little self-introspection. And while the man dubbed by Fortune magazine as the “CEO Whisperer” would certainly have drawn a crowd, it doesn’t mean we can’t get to the heart of what can make you (and your company) a better business partner in 2025. As you read these individual reflections, it might be productive for you to consider the same question while formulating your 2025 business plan. The answer just may surprise you.

It’s easy to see that Robert Woodhull is a fan of history and tradition. Being the son (and grandson) of longtime office technology dealership leaders and having the opportunity to assume the president’s role himself after 12 years with the organization is an honor he does not take lightly.

Robert Woodhull was recently elevated to president of the Springboro, Ohio-based dealership, seated alongside his mother (and CEO) Susie Woodhull. Instead of worrying about how he’ll put his stamp/fingerprints on the company or devising a boatload of changes, the younger Woodhull feels an obligation to act as a steward and extend the legacy forged before his arrival.
