November 2, 2017 by Post

Bill Thielen, Goodwill Manasota’s director of risk management

SARASOTA, FL – Goodwill Manasota has promoted Bill Thielen to director of Risk Management. In this role, he will be responsible for contributing creative new ideas as well as implementing programs and procedures that directly impact all safety, loss and risk issues.

Thielen has been with Goodwill since 2009, starting in its Information Systems department as a support technician. Due to prior work experience in asset protection, he was asked to build Goodwill’s Loss Department team in 2011, leading to his promotion to manager of Loss Prevention. In 2016, he was promoted to Safety and Loss Prevention manager, taking on more responsibilities that dealt with safety and risk management. He recently earned the prestigious Loss Prevention Certification, which covers knowledge in the areas of leadership, loss prevention, supply chain security and risk management.

Previously, Thielen served as an assistant manager for Haggar Clothing Co. in Ellenton, executive team leader – asset protection for a Target store in Bradenton, and senior computer technician with Computer Renaissance in Sarasota.

“We are thrilled to recognize Bill for his commitment to and leadership of our organization with his new role and responsibilities,” said Adrian Gessen, Goodwill Manasota vice president of human resources and risk management. “We are always looking for just the right candidate for each position, and Bill has more than proven himself through the quality of work he has done as well as through earning his certification. I am looking forward to seeing the contributions he will make to our operations in the coming months.”
