Vacuworx Welcomes Senior Director of Sales

(Tulsa, OK) — Vacuworx is pleased to welcome Charlie Cunningham to the North America sales and leadership teams as Senior Director of Sales.

Cunningham brings more than two decades of experience with sales, marketing and business development activities. He recently spent 15 years with Astec Industries, Inc. As Vice President of Sales with Astec Underground and GEFCO, he led the development of initiatives to identify potential markets, new products, and sales and marketing domestically and internationally.

His responsibilities at Vacuworx include providing management and strategies for the North America sales team, while also driving new distribution partnerships to support material handling in the oil and gas pipeline, utility infrastructure, highway and transportation, and concrete renovation markets.

The foundation for Cunningham’s work ethic was built growing up alongside his father and grandfather as they managed the family’s dairy farm at the foothills of the Smoky Mountains. He attended the University of Tennessee, earning a bachelor’s degree in agriculture prior to going to work as a director of training and education and regional sales manager with Tennessee Farmers Cooperative.

From there, Cunningham launched a Dale Carnegie sales and marketing training program that included the facilitation of more than 25 client workshops focused on business improvement, effective communication and strategic sales.

Married with four adult children, Cunningham is based in his hometown of Maryville, Tennessee, residing on his family’s nearly 200-year-old Century Farm. An avid outdoorsman and former marathoner, he enjoys running, cycling and kayaking, alongside staying active with his local church community.
