Veka North America announced a planned leadership transition within its sales organization. Alan Funovits, vice president of sales, will retire effective April 2, 2027, concluding a Veka career that began in 1993. The company has named Jeff Faulk, currently divisional sales manager, as his successor.
Funovits started his career with Veka in operations drawing on the knowledge and experience gained through various plant leadership roles. He transitioned into Sales and ultimately became Veka North America’s VP of Sales in 2011, responsible for fenestration and outdoor living products.
“Alan’s dedication to Veka and our customers has been instrumental to our success,” says Joe Peilert, president and CEO of Veka North America. “This planned transition ensures continuity for our customers while positioning the organization for continued growth under Jeff’s leadership. It reflects the collaborative, customer-focused approach that drives Veka.”
Faulk has been with Veka since 1998 and advanced his career from product engineering into a technical sales manager role and became divisional sales manager in 2011.
What people are saying
“Jeff’s track record building close customer relationships, in-depth understanding of our products and industry, along with his proven sales team leadership, make him the perfect choice to succeed Alan,” says Peilert.
“Veka has been an important part of my professional life, and I am proud of what our team has accomplished together. I am equally confident in the future and look forward to supporting Jeff and the organization during this transition,” says Funovits.
“I’m honored by the opportunity to build upon the strong foundation Alan and our team have established. Our commitment to customers remains unchanged, and I look forward to continuing to strengthen the partnerships that are central to Veka’s success,” says Faulk.
