Turner Pest Control Promotes Two Employees to Vice President Positions

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Turner Pest Control, an Anticimex company providing pest control services to residential and commercial clients throughout Florida, announced the promotion of Suzanne Aranda and Leanne Prewitt.

Turner’s President, Cheri Michaels, said, “As Turner Pest Control continues to pursue excellence and growth, it is with great pleasure to announce the elevation of two female executives to new leadership roles. Their exceptional leadership and strategic vision have been invaluable to our company and I am confident that in their elevated roles, they will continue to drive innovation and inspire their teams.”

Suzanne Aranda was promoted from director of sales to vice president of sales and business operations. Aranda assumed the position of sales analyst at Turner Pest Control in 2020. Over the course of her tenure, she has demonstrated proficiency in her responsibilities, initially overseeing Inside Sales and subsequently expanding her purview to include the Builder team, ATR renewal coordinators, and active involvement in both commercial and residential sales.

Leanne Prewitt was promoted from director of operations to vice president of operations southwest. She joined Turner Pest Control in June 2022 and has been overseeing day-to-day operations, including manufacturing, purchasing and sales departments.

In her new role she will also be responsible for mergers and acquisitions where she will rely on her expansive relationships throughout the pest control industry to identify opportunities and build a robust pipeline.

Given her experience and knowledge of the process coming from an acquisition herself, she will be a valuable resource for owners looking to sell to be able to walk them through the process.

Prewitt brings nearly two decades of experience in the pest control industry, culminating in her most recent role as the president of impact pest management, a company acquired by Turner Pest Control in 2022.

She is a licensed certified pest control operator, an affiliate of the national and state Professional Women in Pest Management (PWIPM) council, a member of the FPMA Membership Committee, and a member of the NPMA Leadership Network Community Council.

She is also QualityPro certified and a Florida Green Industries Best Management Practices certified trainer.
