Boyd McGathey Joins Independent Technologies, Inc.

The president and CEO of Independent Technologies, Inc., Daryl Ingalsbe, appointed Boyd H. McGathey as the new VP of business development for WESROC Remote Monitoring Systems.

McGathey most recently served as EVP and COO at Ferrellgas, the nation’s second largest retail propane marketer. While responsible for all retail propane operations, McGathey also headed Blue Rhino distribution and Ferrell North America, its all-encompassing propane business unit.
