Yesco, which creates and repairs signs, has appointed Joel Warden as vice president and northwest regional manager.

With more than 30 years of experience in sign production, project management and sales leadership as well as a 15-year career with Yesco, Warden is known for his ability to foster collaboration and build high-performing operational teams that consistently surpass objectives, according to a press release.

Warden's portfolio includes some of Utah's most recognizable landmarks and branding initiatives, including leading multi-location efforts for Bank of Utah and Altabank, managing the installation of prominent LED pylon signs at Traverse Mountain Outlets and Valley Grove and overseeing the reconstruction of the iconic 80-foot-tall bowling pin on Salt Lake City's State Street.

He succeeds Robert L. Short, who announced his retirement and will continue with Yesco as a fleet manager.

"After 15 years with Yesco, I've developed a deep respect for the craft of signage and the teams behind it," Warden said in the release. "This next step is really about building on that foundation and carrying the company's legacy in the sign business forward."

"Joel has a knack for both the technical side and the people side of the business," Jeff Young, executive vice president, Yesco, said in the release. "A balance like that is hard to find and will serve our northwest region well."
