BOLT ON TECHNOLOGY has also appointed John Borkowski as National Director of Sales & Customer Support. A successful sales and customer service executive, Borkowski has served in sales leadership roles for B2B technology companies. He brings 34 years of experience with both hands-on sales as well as building and leading sales teams. He has built and managed inside sales, customer contact centers, CRM/ERP programs and customer service efforts.
Prior to joining BOLT ON, Borkowski served as Senior Manager of Customer Service/ERP support for TRAC Intermodal, a Princeton NJ-based marine chassis pool manager and equipment provider. At TRAC Intermodal, he was responsible for strategic direction and tactical management of the customer service department.

In addition to these appointments, BOLT ON has expanded Frank Dragoni’s role as Director of Sales & Corporate Partnerships to focus on strengthening and growing BOLT ON’s relationship with large MSOs and national franchise partners. Dragoni, who joined the company in 2013, has extensive industry experience and has played a key role in helping to grow the company into the industry’s leading provider of automotive aftermarket software solutions.
Commenting on the appointments, BOLT ON’S founder and CEO Mike Risich said, “I am excited to announce the addition of these two accomplished sales and marketing professionals who are going to help BOLT ON reach the next level. Our digital vehicle inspection and customer communications software is helping over 5,000 repair shops grow their business. Yet despite our success, we never take our market leadership role for granted. John and Tim, along with Frank and the rest of our leadership team, are laser focused on both retaining that market position and helping BOLT ON TECHNOLOGY reach that next level of success.”
