Jeff Cook – CFO @ TEC Equipment

Our Herd Freed Hartz executive search team was honored to partner with TEC Equipment on a nationwide retained executive search to find their new Chief Financial Officer (CFO) in Portland, OR.

Over the last 50 years, TEC Equipment has grown to $1B+ revenues and 1200 employees as a leading full-service truck and trailer dealership with 30+ locations throughout Washington, Oregon, California, Nevada, Arizona, Nebraska, Iowa and South Dakota with headquarters in Portland, OR. TEC maintains one of the country’s largest inventories of Volvo, Mack, Stoughton Trailers, MAC Trailer, Hino, Isuzu and a host of other brands. 

As a full service dealer, TEC offers a complete mix of New & Used trucks, Parts (sold 5 Million parts in 2025), Service, Leasing (4000+ trucks in their fleet) and TEC Development as their in-house real estate development group. Their strong balance sheet and mix of business divisions enables TEC to weather business cycles and invest in long-term strategies 

At TEC it’s “all about the people.” The systems and processes they build exist to serve employees, leaders, and the family. How the work gets delivered matters as much as what gets delivered.

This privately held, family-owned business has grown from $250M to $1B+ over the last decade and has plans for 2-3x growth over the next 10-15 years. 

This retained executive search was led by Paul Freed/Managing Partner.
