In this role, Williams and his team will work to ensure that Birch delivers seamless customer experience across all product lines and service channels.
“Perfecting our customer’s experience is a constant focus at Birch and I’m confident that Grant’s leadership and operational expertise will move us forward and continue to drive our tradition of award-winning customer service excellence,” said Oddo. “I’ve known Grant for over 15 years and witnessed him excel at delivering superior results to internal and external customers. He knows our products and our business and I’m thrilled that he’s now part of the team.”

“I’m honored to be part of Birch and looking forward to working with our teams to identify opportunities that will heighten our customers’ success when they interact with our personnel and our products,” said Williams. “My focus for the next several months is two-fold: to leverage cross-training programs that help our team members quickly identify complex issues and expedite time-to-resolution, and to set the foundation for more proactive communication with our customers to provide a quality of service beyond their expectations.”
