ARGYLE, TX – GoVision LP named Kevin Faciane partner and vice president of business development. Faciane will oversee the integration of GoVision’s acquisitions, partnerships and strategic alliances while also leading the company’s expansion into new areas of business.

“We’ve just completed our busiest and best year ever, and it looks like 2015 will put 2014 to shame,” said Chris Curtis, CEO of Argyle, TX-based GoVision, one of the nation’s premier suppliers of customized modular LED walls and turnkey mobile LED units. “Our leadership team is strong, but this is no time to stretch ourselves thin. Kevin has the background and expertise to help us manage our more disparate operations and to capitalize on the new market opportunities for which we are now supremely competitive. We refuse to jeopardize our stellar reputation for client service and flexibility during this season of growth, and Kevin is a key part of that commitment.”
Prior to joining GoVision, Faciane spent 15 highly successful years with the Mead Johnson Nutrition Division of the Bristol-Myers Squibb Company. He held senior leadership positions within the organization’s Sales and National Accounts departments where he had direct P&L and leadership responsibility for a $250 million operating unit while achieving numerous, record-setting sales, profitability and share awards.
“I’ve known and respected Chris for years and I’ve marveled at GoVision from afar for nearly as long,” said Faciane. “It’s impossible not to be excited by all the opportunities available to this company given its expanded resources, its state-of-the-art inventory and the talented people that make it all run so smoothly. I’m thrilled to join the GoVision team and I can’t wait to be a part of its exciting future.”
In 2008, Faciane traded his Fortune 500 career for equity positions in several closely held businesses in the food distribution, grocery and commercial property development sectors. There he found great success helping small- to medium-sized businesses experience “next level” growth and profitability through targeted business planning, organizational efficiency modeling, operational excellence and corporate structure initiatives as well as strategic investment banking partnerships.
A graduate of Texas Christian University and Texas Wesleyan University School of Law (now Texas A&M University School of Law), Faciane was a Varsity Letterman at TCU as a member of the TCU Men’s Soccer Team. He was an appointed member of the Board of Visitors for TCU’s College of Science and Engineering and was elected to the Argyle Independent School District Board of Trustees in 2011; serving as School Board President from 2012 to 2014.
In February 2013, Faciane was appointed to the North Texas Organizing Committee for the NCAA 2014 Final Four Basketball Championship in Arlington. He is active in his local community where he was a member of the Argyle Young Life Leadership Committee; a volunteer coach for several youth sports teams; a member of the Tarrant Area Food Bank Food Advisory Committee; a volunteer at Cross Timbers Community Church; and a missionary and sponsor for the Family Legacy Christian Missions in Lusaka, Zambia.
Faciane remains an active real estate and private business investor and is the Trustee for the O.B. Stanley Family Trusts in Bay City, Texas. He lives in Argyle, Texas, with his wife, Susan, and their two daughters.
