Founder Jim Loffler Transitions to Chairman as Family Business Builds Leadership Depth Heading into Its 40th Year

ST. LOUIS PARK, Minn., June 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Loffler Companies, one of the Midwest’s most trusted technology services providers, today announced a series of executive leadership appointments that reflect both the maturity of a business built over nearly four decades and the confidence of an organization ready for what comes next.

At the heart of the announcement is a milestone for the company and the family behind it. Jim Loffler, who founded Loffler Companies 39 years ago, will transition to the role of Founder and Chairman. His son, James Loffler, assumes the role of President and Chief Executive Officer.

“When I started this company, I believed that if you take care of your people and take care of your customers, everything else follows,” said Jim Loffler. “What I am most proud of is not what we have built but how we have built it. As we head into our 40th year, watching James and this leadership team step into this next chapter, I have never been more confident about where Loffler is headed.”

A Leadership Team Built for What Is Next
The appointments reflect a deliberate investment in executive depth across every dimension of the business, including revenue, operations, finance, technology, and people.

James Loffler, President and Chief Executive Officer

James assumes full leadership of Loffler’s vision, strategy, culture, and performance. Having grown up alongside the business and earned his place within it, James brings both a deep understanding of what makes Loffler distinctive and a clear view of where the organization is going.

“My father built something rare, a company with real values that actually shows up in how we work every day,” said James Loffler. “My job is to honor that foundation while leading us toward the growth and impact we are capable of as we head into our 40th year. This leadership team gives me tremendous confidence that we are ready.”

John Hastings, Chief Revenue Officer and Chief Operating Officer

John’s dual mandate spanning revenue execution and operational excellence reflects Loffler’s conviction that growth and service quality are inseparable. His oversight covers revenue strategy, operations, service delivery, and customer experience across the organization.

Brandon Norberg, Chief Financial Officer

Brandon brings rigorous financial leadership to an organization with significant momentum ahead. His responsibilities include financial oversight, budgeting, forecasting, analysis, and long-term financial governance, ensuring Loffler has the financial foundation to support its growth with discipline and clarity.

Spencer Anderson, Executive Vice President of Technology

Spencer’s elevation to the executive team reflects Loffler’s belief that technology leadership belongs at the highest level of the organization. Formerly Vice President of Operations for Loffler’s IT Solutions Group, Spencer will lead technology strategy, innovation, automation, cybersecurity, compliance, and internal systems. A key focus will be creating a more unified, seamless experience across the tools and platforms Loffler’s teams and customers rely on every day.

Angela Radtke, Executive Vice President of People and Culture

Angela joins Loffler’s executive team, bringing extensive experience in talent acquisition, performance management, compensation and benefits, and employee engagement. Her appointment reflects Loffler’s commitment to investing in its people and culture as a core business priority, not an afterthought.

Nearly Four Decades of Trust. A Leadership Team Ready for What Is Ahead.
Loffler Companies has served businesses across Minnesota, Wisconsin, North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa, and Nebraska for nearly 40 years, offering managed IT services, copiers and printers, unified communications, intelligent automation, and physical security solutions. The company has built its reputation on a straightforward premise: the right technology partner does not just solve problems; it helps businesses grow. The leadership changes announced today are not departure from that premise. They are its next expression, and a signal of what Loffler’s 40th year will represent.

“We have spent nearly 40 years earning the trust of our customers and our team,” said James Loffler. “This leadership structure is how we ensure we keep that promise at greater scale, with the same integrity that has always defined us.”

LEAP Group Relaunches HumanView, a Growth Intelligence System Built to Explain Why Customers Behave the Way They Do

Reimagined from the ground up, HumanView pairs statistical modeling with expert analysts to turn millions of real-world customer signals into business decisions

LOUISVILLE, Ky., Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — LEAP Group today announced the relaunch of HumanView, its growth intelligence service. The new version has been rebuilt from the ground up and now has a dedicated home at leapgroupnetwork.com/humanview.

HumanView analyzes what customers say and do across social platforms, e-commerce sites, review platforms, search behavior and user-generated content, including signals from Reddit, TikTok, YouTube, Meta, Amazon and Walmart+ that general AI tools cannot always access. Because the data reflects unprompted, real-world behavior, it avoids the response bias built into surveys and focus groups.

The service works in three layers. HumanView captures signals at scale, decodes millions of records through validated statistical models such as regression, correlation and clustering, and then relies on experienced analysts to interpret the patterns. Clients receive clear, human-validated insights instead of another dashboard.

“Machines find the patterns. Humans find the point,” said Alan Gilleo, CEO at LEAP Group. “The first version of HumanView showed us how much customers reveal when nobody is asking them questions. This version is built to explain why they act the way they do, and to put those answers in front of everyone making decisions, from product to service to marketing.”

HumanView focuses on three areas:

Growth Intelligence: customer motivations and how people perceive a brand and its competitors

Market and Category Intelligence: product pain points, service friction, unmet needs and competitive gaps

Audience Intelligence: new segments, positioning opportunities and gaps in the market

Every model is designed and validated by data scientists and benchmarked before it informs a recommendation.

About LEAP Group
LEAP Group is a boutique marketing agency holding company with offices in Louisville, Indianapolis, Cincinnati and Chicago. Guided by the belief that brands should “Market Less. Matter More.,” LEAP gives clients access to specialized experts across its entire network. Learn more at leapgroupnetwork.com.

STEPHEN A. SMITH ADDRESSES WHITE HOUSE DINNER ATTENDANCE, REAFFIRMS COMMITMENT TO HBCUs AND PROTECTING CORPORATE INVESTMENT IN BLACK EDUCATION

NEW YORK, Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Stephen A. Smith, media mogul, New York Times bestselling author, and proud 1991 graduate of Winston-Salem State University, is addressing the public discussion surrounding his decision to attend a White House dinner with President Donald Trump, emphasizing his commitment to the long-term financial stability of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).

For Smith, the decision was rooted in a commitment to institutions that have educated generations of Black leaders, professionals, entrepreneurs, and public servants.

“I will always advocate for HBCUs and the students whose futures depend on them,” Smith said. “My reason for attending the White House dinner was to discuss the challenges these institutions face in securing long-term funding and to make the case that corporate America must continue to invest in them.”

Smith acknowledged federal support through the FUTURE Act while expressing concern that political tensions surrounding diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) could discourage private companies from supporting HBCUs. He maintains that these institutions deserve sustained corporate partnerships, philanthropic contributions, and public investment.

“If we truly believe in free-market capitalism, businesses should be able to support educational institutions and charitable causes without fear of criticism or repercussions,” Smith said. “HBCUs have made extraordinary contributions to this country. They deserve sustained public and private investment.”

Ashley Christopher, Esq., Founder and CEO of the HBCU Week Foundation, recognized Smith’s advocacy and decision to engage with the administration.

“Stephen A. Smith has been a powerful advocate for HBCUs, using his platform and influence to shine a national spotlight on our institutions,” expressed Christopher, “His continued support of HBCU Week helps advance our mission of connecting students with life-changing educational opportunities, and we are proud to have him as our ambassador.”

Since Smith became an HBCU Week Ambassador in 2019, the initiative has facilitated more than 15,000 on-the-spot college acceptances and raised and awarded more than $150 million in scholarships, according to the HBCU Week Foundation.

As public discussion continues, Smith is emphasizing the importance of ensuring HBCUs have the resources and partnerships needed to educate future generations and expand opportunities for students.
