Mark Paquette to Join Ascot Supply as VP

May 3, 2024

Ascot Supply Corp. has named Mark Paquette to serve in the newly created role of vice president.

Paquette will oversee the growth of the company's products and corporate profitability, and also manage marketing, advertising and assume other essential responsibilities, the company said.

He will work under the direction of President David Kessler when he begins his new role on June 3.

Paquette was introduced to the tire industry in the early 1980s at his father's tire business. He graduated with a degree in business finance in 1988. He worked for Mohawk Rubber Sales and contributed to the company's growth, leading to its sale to Myers Tire Supply in 2021. And he ultimately was promoted to director of operations at Myers Tire Supply.

Ascot Supply Corp., which is based in Newnan, Ga., says Paquette's "commitment to honesty and servant leadership" align with its corporate values.
