Batista promoted to Southeast Florida area manager
Truly Nolen Pest Control recently announced the promotion of David Batista to area manager for Southeast Florida, covering Monroe County through Indian River County.
Batista joined Truly Nolen in 2015 and was most recently the company’s area manager covering Miami-Dade and Monroe Counties. Prior to joining the company, he spent 10 years working as a service manager and branch manager for another company in the pest control industry. In addition, he has an A.S. degree in cardiovascular science from Ward Stone College and a degree in management and supervision from Miami-Dade College.
Some of Batista’s new responsibilities will include district authority overseeing the company’s service offices in Port St. Lucie, Greenacres, Pompano Beach and Davie in addition to continuing to oversee service offices in Key Largo, South Miami, Central Miami and North Miami.
“I am most excited about coaching and supporting our team members to help elevate their operational knowledge so that they can be more strategic, proactive and successful,” said Batista. “My favorite thing about working for Truly Nolen is the opportunity to make a positive impact every day – not only for our external customers, but also for our internal team members. Supporting both groups is incredibly rewarding.”
“David’s passion for success, operational excellence, previous success in Miami and the Keys and enthusiasm for developing teams made him the ideal leader to oversee both areas within our South Florida market”, said Lee Blair, Florida regional manager, in a news release. “We are excited about his expanded leadership role and we are glad he is a member of our team.”
Abel promoted to Cape Coral service office manager
Abel joined Truly Nolen as a swing technician in 2019. Before joining the company, he was a Crew Supervisor at the Charlotte Sun newspaper for nearly 10 years, where he worked nights in the packaging department. His team took the newspapers off the printing press, ran them through the inserting machine and bundled them for the paper carriers.
Some of Abel’s new responsibilities will include helping the new service office gain visibility within the local Cape Coral community as well as instilling the company’s core values throughout his team. He also said an architectural drafting course he completed at a technical college has come in handy during inspections.
“I look forward to supporting my team any way I can and watching how everyone succeeds in their own ways,” said Abel, in a news release. “My favorite thing about working for Truly Nolen is that our company is a family-owned company that appreciates its team members; however, I also like how we are a serious, smart and strong company but also likes to have fun.”
“Greg’s demonstrated ability as a technician combined with his previous managerial and supervisory experience made him the perfect person for his new position,” said Dave Scott, Senior District Manager, Southwest Florida. “I am proud he is a member of our team and I look forward to his continued success.”
