OFS promotes three longtime technology staffers, naming Tim Hopper and Tim Verkamp

OFS, the family-owned, Huntingburg-based contract furniture and solutions company, announced promotions for three longtime technology staffers March 7, 2026, naming Tim Hopper as Vice President of Strategic Technology and Tim Verkamp as Vice President of Operations Technology. The announcement identified two roles but did not name the third promoted technology leader in the materials provided.

Tim Verkamp has been promoted to Vice President of Operations Technology, with responsibility for Communications, Infrastructure, Productivity Applications, Helpdesk Support, Cloud Deployment and Management, Licensing, and Security. Verkamp has strengthened OFS’s operational technology environment, including leading the development of the company’s Security Operations Center (SOC) and advancing continuous improvement initiatives focused on efficiency and security. On Verkamp’s impact, Franzel said, "Tim Verkamp’s focus on operational excellence has helped build a secure and scalable technology foundation," Franzel said. "His leadership ensures we can support growth while maintaining reliability and security for both our internal teams and our customers."

Tim Hopper was promoted to Vice President of Strategic Technology, a role the company positioned as part of a broader push to align technology investments with business growth. OFS announces the promotion of three technology leaders whose experience and leadership will support the company’s continued growth, innovation, and operational excellence. These promotions reflect OFS’ commitment to developing talent and investing in technology that strengthens the organization and delivers value to customers.

The announcement highlights OFS’ focus on operational resilience and platform-level work such as cloud deployment and the SOC, even as public details on the third promoted staffer, the effective dates of the promotions, and biographical backgrounds for Hopper and Verkamp were not included in the released materials. The company did not provide direct quotes from Hopper or Verkamp, and the sole named speaker in the release was Franzel, whose first name and title were not provided.

Local and industry watchers will likely read the promotions as steps to lock in technology capacity as OFS scales operations from its Huntingburg base. By elevating a leader who built the SOC and assigning a strategic-technology vice president, OFS is signaling prioritization of security, cloud management, and productivity platforms as foundations for future growth and customer service continuity. Follow-up requests for the identity of the third promoted leader, Franzel’s full title, and detailed job descriptions for Hopper and Verkamp remain outstanding.
