People news: BlueRock Energy names Anklin VP of sales

SYRACUSE, N.Y. — BlueRock Energy announced it has appointed Stew Anklin VP of sales.

Based in Syracuse, he will report to Jim Cifaratta, senior VP of operations.

Anklin comes to BlueRock Energy with more than 30 years of sales and management experience, ranging from insurance, to brokerage to medical devices and pharmaceutical industries. He previously worked at Quintiles as a diabetic specialty representative. He also spent time at Byram Healthcare, as its account manager in the upstate New York region.

“Stew’s extensive background in sales made him an excellent fit for BlueRock Energy,” Phil VanHorne, president and CEO of BlueRock Energy, said in a news release. “During our candidate search, we were looking for someone who could help guide our sales to places BlueRock hasn’t been able to reach. We are extremely confident that Stew will lead our sales team into that direction.”

Anklin graduated from SUNY Geneseo in 1986 with a bachelor’s degree in economics.
