AIA Corporation (PPAI 101364, D12) has hired Josh Pospisil, MAS, as vice president of business development. 

• Pospisil joins the Wisconsin-based distributor after most recently working with Houston-based supplier HIRSCH as a national account manager.
  
  

“I’m truly honored to step into this role and embrace the opportunity it presents,” Pospisil says. “AIA’s dedication to its distributor community and core values align perfectly with my own values, and I look forward to contributing to its growth.”

• AIA was named the 29 supplier in last year’s PPAI 100.

‘An Avid Enthusiast Of All Things Promotional’

A 10-year veteran of the promo industry, Pospisil has seen what growth looks like from different angles of the promotional products world. 

• He began his promo career as marketing associate for Houston-based supplier KTI Promo and quickly elevated to the role of marketing manager.
• In 2021, he joined HIRSCH and remained with the supplier for nearly three years.
• He also served as a “Sous Chef” for PromoKitchen from January 2020 until late 2022.
  
  

Those who have not interacted with Pospisil in his roles with those organizations may still know him for his social media presence.

• Pospisil was named to the PPAI’s 2023 #Online18 for his enthusiasm and promotion via Facebook and LinkedIn.
• He is known for regularly updating his followers with a pink wardrobe on what he deems PINK Day Wednesdays, which AIA says, “reflect his unwavering dedication to his craft and his unique approach to industry engagement.”

In his new role as vice president of business development, Pospisil is expected to “play a pivotal role in shaping and executing business development strategies.”

• Under his direction, the company hopes to grow AIA’s distributor community with new, innovative strategies.
  
  

“We are thrilled to welcome Josh as our new vice president of business development at AIA Corporation," says Rich Berg, AIA’s senior VP of business development and owner success. “He is a force to be reckoned with within the promotional products industry and with a strong background in sales, accounts management and marketing, Josh brings valuable expertise to our team.”
