Source: Sam the Leigh / Shutterstock.comMullen (NASDAQ:MULN) stock is charging higher on Friday thanks to news of Ronald Dixon joining as its General Manager of Government Sales.
That’s worth noting as Dixon is a prior employee of General Motors (NYSE:GM). He spent over 20 years with the automobile maker and served as leader of its Federal Government Fleet Sales Team. His overall experience in the industry spans 42 years.
David Michery, chairman and CEO of Mullen, said the following about Dixon joining the company.
“This was a strategic move on our part to bring Ron in and open the door to government fleet sales opportunities. His experience is a perfect match for us and our vision for commercial EV sales success.”
How MULN Can Benefit From the Hire
Bringing on Dixon goes a long way toward Mullen being able to work with the Federal Government for EV orders. During his time at General Motors, Dixon was responsible for selling more than 500,000 units to the U.S. Government.
The addition of Dixon makes sense as the U.S. Government is focusing more and more on EVs. That includes plans to replace the government’s entire 650,000-vehicle fleet with American-made EVs. So far, only 1% of the fleet has made the switch, eaning there’s still plenty of room for MULN EVs.
MULN stock is up 2.9% as of Friday morning but is down 96.6% year-to-date.
