About Us Our leaders are
industry leaders.
The ATEK Companies management team is made of experienced professionals. Each is a visionary thinker who knows how to make the most of their industry’s dynamic opportunities.
Kay Phillips
Owner
Former President of ATEK Companies, Kay remains active as a part owner and serves on our Board of Directors. She joined ATEK in 2001 as President, after holding numerous senior leadership positions in large multinational companies. Currently she also serves on the Board of Directors for Dunwoody College of Technology, Vention Medical and Michael C Fina. Kay grew up on a farm/ranch in rural Oklahoma. A natural athlete, she played on a couple of state champion basketball teams and finished her basketball career at Central Oklahoma University. Her idea of the perfect vacation involves lacing up her hiking boots and exploring new trails somewhere in the US or abroad.
Mark Osmanski
President & CEO
Mark’s business strategy is simple and effective. He surrounds himself with people who share his passion for excellence, and gives them all the resources they need to succeed. As President and CEO of ATEK Companies, and an active member of the Board of Directors, Mark is responsible for all operations across all ATEK brands. Prior to joining ATEK as CFO in 2004, he held numerous financial leadership positions in large multinational manufacturing companies. Growing up, Mark always had a strong interest in the great outdoors. Today, he still retains this passion, and his idea of a perfect weekend could include hiking, canoeing or fly fishing. Or all of the above.
Julie Mork
Vice President, Human Resources
Julie joined ATEK Companies in 2007 and is responsible for driving human capital initiatives throughout the company. Julie is a Senior Professional in Human Resources (SPHR and SHRM-SCP), with over 20 years of experience in public and private companies, spanning both union and nonunion environments. When she’s not engaged in human resources activities, chances are you’ll find Julie cheering in the bleachers at one of her kids’ sports events.
Kevin Pollman
CFO
Most of Kevin’s peers are convinced he was born wearing a green eyeshade. Raised and educated in Minnesota, he joined ATEK in 2004. After holding a variety of financial leadership positions Kevin was named CFO in 2015. Always a competitor, he is eager to take on a challenge. Kevin is an accomplished swimmer and still enjoys frequenting local pools and lakes.

He is also responsible for managing our extensive information technology operations.

Jim enjoys working on projects around his home, or diving into one of the many recreation opportunities that come from living on a Minnesota lake.
