“When this position opened up, Linder reached out, and we agreed that my previous experience buying and selling equipment would allow me to be successful,” said Cedillo. “One of my priorities is to bring speed not only to the people we work with internally through service and parts, but also to our sales groups, which will allow them to quickly provide valid numbers on trade-in opportunities. I want to add value to the whole operation.”

Speed is essential in the used equipment market, according to Cedillo.

“There’s a balancing act between buying machines and turning them around and placing them into the right home,” explained Cedillo. “With everything trending toward digitalization, we want to put tools in place that will help Linder be faster in every dimension of the used equipment market, allowing us to efficiently find that balance. I look at my role as the hub for used equipment information, where the sales team can come to me with a machine, and we’ll determine if it’s the right time to sell it, where to sell it, and who to sell it to.”

Cedillo sees many great opportunities ahead.

“What was achieved in the past set a good standard for the position,” acknowledged Cedillo. “I want to take what’s been built and insert it into my formula, expand it and maximize what we can achieve in the used equipment market. I’m glad to be working for Linder, and I look forward to meeting their goals and exceeding them.” ■
