Ms. Lammers will head up AdTeam, Corporate Marketing, Public Relations and new market initiatives.

He described Ms. Lammers as the perfect fit for this new senior executive position in Pueblo. “Melissa’s excellent reputation in marketing communications, her proven business skills, and her knowledge of the local market make her the best possible choice for our marketing efforts,” stated Keon. “She will be responsible not only for renovating Pueblo’s image and improving our market position but also with seeking out and exploiting opportunities for synergies among our businesses in Puerto Rico.”
