Spokane, Wash. – Hotstart is pleased to announce the promotion of Michael Mustradi to Key Account Manager for power generation accounts effective Oct 1, 2024. In this role, Mustradi will work directly with original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) in the United States Midwest to specify and integrate thermal management heating solutions for engines and equipment.  

Mustradi joined Hotstart in 2017 as a market manager working with railroad customers across the US and Canada to implement idle reduction heating solutions on Shortline and Class I locomotives. Prior to Hotstart, he worked for Hadady Corporation for over 5 years as a Sales Representative servicing both the railroad and power generation industries. His time working in the two distinct markets provides Mustradi with valuable experience solving problems in fast-paced environments as well as building strong relationships. Mustradi currently serves on the board of directors for the Chicago Railroad Mechanical Association (CRMA) recruiting speakers and organizing monthly group events.

“I’m excited for this new chapter and eager to contribute to Hotstart’s growth in the thriving Power Gen market,” said Mustradi, who is based in the Chicagoland area. “The skills and experience gained from my current role, along with proximity to key customers, will allow me to further strengthen Hotstart’s place in this market. I look forward to working with different customers and coworkers outside of the opportunities and projects I’ve worked on previously.”

Greg Walters, Sales Manager of Hotstart, said of Mustradi’s promotion, “Mike will play an essential role in the growth of our power generation offerings to OEMs through ownership of key customer relationships. The vision and leadership he embodies is a natural fit within the team and we are excited at the prospects for his success.”
