Jasper Announces Retirement, New VP of Fleet and National Programs

After thirty-four years of dedicated service in several roles and most recently as the Vice President of Fleet and National Programs (FNP) for Jasper, Craig Hessenauer has decided to retire.

“Craig was a key player in the overall growth of Jasper Engines and Transmissions,” said Jasper Executive Vice President of Sales Joe McDonald. “He was one of the first Associates hired when we opened the Mid Atlantic area with the Baltimore and Philadelphia branches.”

After leading both those markets for several years, Hessenauer was promoted to Regional Vice President of Sales for the East Coast until taking a new challenge with FNP four years ago. Under Hessenauer's guidance, Jasper successfully implemented a strategic focus on National Fleets, turning a vision into reality. His commitment to excellence and passion for meeting the unique needs of fleet managers has been instrumental in the success of the FNP division.

As Jasper bids farewell to Hessenauer, the company is delighted to introduce Jesse Doty as the incoming vice president of Fleet and National Programs.

“Jesse's deep understanding of the industry, coupled with his strategic mindset, makes him the ideal candidate to lead our FNP division into the future,” said McDonald. “We are confident that under Jesse's guidance, our commitment to providing exceptional products and services to national fleets will continue to thrive.”

Doty has been an integral part of the company, according to a release, bringing with him a wealth of experience and a proven track record of leadership. He has played a key role in the growth of Jasper's dedicated FNP team and has been actively involved in showcasing how Jasper can effectively meet the diverse needs of fleet managers.

“I want to thank Jasper Engines and Transmissions for this opportunity,” said Doty. “I also want to thank Craig for his guidance and leadership over the last few years. I hope he enjoys his retirement.”
