BTA member Lake Business Products has announced that it has named Jeremy Wood as its new president and CEO. He brings a wealth of leadership experience and a passion for positive change and business growth in the local communities to his new position.

Wood succeeds Terri Cain, Lake's second president and CEO in the company's 63-plus-year history. Cain will work alongside Wood to transition all day-to-day operations over the coming months.

"We are excited to welcome Jeremy to the team," Cain said. "His energy, leadership, talent and vast knowledge of the industry is sure to bring positive change and growth to Lake Business Products."

Wood comes to Lake from his previous role as chief transformation officer at Advizex, a regional IT services provider. Prior to Advizex, he spent 18-plus years with ComDoc Inc., a Xerox company, most recently as company president. During his tenure with ComDoc, Wood successfully drove double-digit year-over-year net-new business growth.

He holds a bachelor's degree in business administration (marketing, finance) from Miami University (2001).

"I could not be more grateful and humbled to take on the role of president/CEO at Lake Business Products," Wood said. "I am excited to return to doing what I love most, focusing on growth, developing winning teams and creating exciting career opportunities for our employees.

"At a time when our industry is struggling and increasingly becoming internally focused, it’s refreshing to join and lead a team whose mission is to exceed the expectations of our clients, employees, partners and community."
