Kelly has been charting her success at HOLT Group for fifteen years, a journey marked by growth, adaptability, and the steady climb of someone deeply committed to both personal development and the company’s mission. She began her career in 2010 with HOLT CAT as an Ag Sales Coordinator, where her role quickly expanded to cover inventory coordination and invoicing — responsibilities she handled easily. By 2014, Kelly moved into the role of Ag Inventory Manager, where this role evolved to support Machine Sales operations and working closely with the new machine inventory team.
Her path didn’t stop there. In 2019, Kelly became a Business Systems Analyst, applying her growing expertise to improve internal processes and support the business at a deeper level. Just two years later, in 2021, she piloted and established the machine sales centralized quoting Deal Team as Retail Sales Manager, proving once again that she thrives when she’s helping create solutions that move the company forward. In 2022, Kelly took on her current role as Product Manager, where her leadership and insight continue to shape the success of the organization.
When asked what advice she would give to someone just starting out at HOLT, Kelly encourages new employees to focus and commit to their own self-development journey early on. She highlights how unique it is to work at a company that truly invests in its people, emphasizing that this commitment is one of the key things that sets the company apart. For Kelly, the culture and values at HOLT Group have been a defining part of her career. She recalls a pivotal moment when all the lessons from the company’s leadership development courses finally clicked — a moment that transformed her perspective and made every role and responsibility feel even more worthwhile.
Reflecting on her favorite part of the past fifteen years, Kelly points without hesitation to the people she’s met along the way. She speaks with gratitude about the colleagues who inspire her to be and do better, not just for the company but for herself as well. And as a personal bonus, she even met her husband early in her HOLT career! This made it clear for Kelly that this more than just a workplace; it’s a place where she’s built a rewarding career and life!
Thank you, Kelly, for your dedication!
