Pace International, a leading provider of telecommunications and connectivity solutions, is proud to announce the appointment of Tim Deutsch as President, marking a new chapter in the company’s growth trajectory. This leadership transition reinforces Pace’s commitment to innovation, operational excellence, and long-term customer success.

Tim Deutsch Assumes Role of President
Tim Deutsch steps into the role of President after serving in key leadership roles within the company. He brings operational expertise, strong financial acumen, and a clear vision for the company’s future. As President, Tim will report to the Board of Directors and lead Pace into its next phase of growth.

“I’m honored to take on this role and especially grateful for the foundation Opie has built over nearly two decades of leadership,” said Tim Deutsch, President of Pace International. “We have an incredible team, and I feel fortunate to work alongside them every day. I’m excited for what’s ahead as we work together to deliver even more value to our customers and partners.”

Supporting Leadership Transitions
In addition to Tim’s appointment, several other strategic leadership changes have been made to align the organization for future success:

· Opie Williams is stepping down from the President role and will now focus exclusively on sales and new business development. Over his 18-year tenure as President, Opie played a pivotal role in shaping the company’s success. He will continue to lead sales strategy and work directly with partners.

· Eric Deutsch continues as Chief Financial Officer, reporting directly to the Board of Directors. He will oversee financial strategy and help position the company for long-term sustainability and growth.

· Pat Deutsch, who previously served as CEO, will remain Chairman of the Board, providing strategic guidance and oversight.

· Sam Schell has been named EVP of Strategic Growth. With 17 years at Pace and a proven track record of launching new business units like DISH Outdoors and TravlFi, Sam will focus on identifying and executing future growth opportunities.

· Nathan Popp has been promoted to Vice President of Revenue Operations. Nathan will now oversee integrated marketing and sales functions. Since joining Pace, he has played a key role in the rapid growth of TravlFi and will be instrumental in driving cross-functional revenue strategies.

Looking Ahead
These changes reflect Pace’s continued focus on building a strong, future-ready leadership team with the experience, creativity, and customer focus needed to drive the company forward.
