CounselorTop 40 distributor American Solutions for Business (ASB) (asi/120075) has announced two organizational changes to its leadership team. Justin Zavadil has been named executive vice president and Katie Hallstrom has been appointed as executive director.

Zavadil, the son of ASB’s founder and CEO Larry Zavadil, will now work with the individual senior leadership team officers and their departments on process and system improvements in the firm’s home office.

Most recently, he held the title of vice president of ASB’s sales resource group. He was named to Counselor’s Power 50 list this year for the first time.

Hallstrom will now lead ASB’s human resource department and its associated team. A graduate of Southwest State University, Hallstrom joined ASB in the fall of 2011 with 30 years of HR experience. Hallstrom co-managed ASB’s HR team before being named as the department’s director.
