Craig Felker and Kyle Summers have joined Burkholder Management and Ownly as partners, aligning proven leadership, operational excellence, and next-generation technology to accelerate growth across the shed industry.
Summers will serve as Partner and Chief Sales and Growth Officer across both Burkholder Management and Ownly, while Craig Felker will serve as Partner and Chief Brand Officer across both organizations.
The pair is also launching Wild Belief Co, a new company focused on helping leaders and brands find clarity and stand out.
Burkholder Management has built a reputation for delivering high-level operational support across the shed industry, helping manufacturers and operators streamline processes, improve performance, and scale with confidence through custom management services.
“Kyle and Craig joining us as partners marks a real shift for Burkholder,” says LeAnn Burkholder. “We’ve had the privilege of knowing the caliber of both of them for some time, and I’m confident in what this partnership makes possible.”
“Kyle and Craig bring capabilities we simply didn’t have before,” adds Duane Burkholder. “With both of them on the team, we can build the kind of relationships, systems, training, and technology that help dealers and manufacturers get RTO right and grow because of it.”
“At the end of the day, it will always be people over process for us,” Summers shares. “That’s how you build something that actually lasts. LeAnn and Duane get that.”
Ownly is a rent-to-own software platform built to simplify operations and give operators full control of their business. The platform is set to officially launch this summer.
Finally, Felker and Summers, along with Stephanie Felker and Megan Summers, are also launching Wild Belief Co, a leadership and brand company built on a simple idea: leaders who believe lead differently.
“A brand is simply culture made visible,” says Craig Felker. “We help leaders get clear, communicate with conviction, and build something people actually want to be part of.”
