The Opportunity:
We are looking for a President to lead a well-established distributor of automotive aftermarket supplies in New York City. The company serves a loyal base of business customers across the city from two locations.
This is a strong, established business with a loyal, long-tenured team. The next president will bring structure and stronger financial discipline, and will work closely with an experienced leadership team that is staying on.

The company has a solid foundation and a team that knows the industry well. This role is about earning the team’s trust, putting the right systems in place, and building the foundation for long-term growth as an employee-owned company.
