A graduate of Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi with a Bachelor of Business Administration, Joey has leveraged his extensive business acumen to build and manage 7robotics’ operations, sales, and administration.

“I am honored to step into the role of President of 7robotics,” he says. “I look forward to continuing to help build this innovative company alongside our talented team. Together, we’re focused on executing the vision laid out by our founder, Dave Larecy, and driving advancements in robotics that will transform industries. I’m excited to collaborate with such a dedicated group of cool nerds to lead 7robotics into its next chapter of growth.”

Dave Larecy, Con-Vey CEO & President and former President of 7robotics, has expressed confidence in Koenig’s leadership: “We recruited Joey from Texas as the Business Director, and he has been pivotal in building the high-energy team and environment at 7robotics. His strategic vision, flexibility, and dedication have been invaluable. This promotion marks the next step in our journey, allowing Joey to set the strategic path for sustained growth. I’m excited for the transition and look forward to seeing how Joey’s leadership will drive the next phase of our company’s growth.”

Under Koenig’s leadership, 7robotics is poised to expand its market share in industrial automation, focusing on key sectors such as wood products, building materials, and furniture manufacturing. His promotion aligns with the company’s strategic plan to strengthen its position and continue its innovative trajectory.
