RoadVantage, the #1-rated F&I provider as voted by automotive dealers, is extremely pleased to announce the addition of industry veteran John Lutman as the new company President while Randy Ross moves into an executive advisory role.
AUSTIN, Texas, July 25, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The Next Stage of Expansion
RoadVantage is proud to welcome John Lutman to the team. John brings a wealth of experience from his 12-year tenure at iA American, where he most recently held the position of Chief Revenue Officer. John's expertise will help the company drive sales to even higher levels beyond our already impressive record. With John's expertise, we will help agents expand their businesses while seeking fresh, new growth opportunities.
Before joining iA American, John gained valuable experience in key positions such as General Manager, Controller, and CFO of major Washington D.C./Baltimore dealerships. Additionally, he served as an Account Executive within a general agency, where he trained, coached, and developed business managers and provided turnkey reinsurance management financial plans for dealerships and their principals.
"I'm honored to join the RoadVantage team as the company continues to lead innovation in our industry while providing unmatched levels of claims services," said John Lutman. "I appreciate the trust placed in me by CEO Garret Lacour and the entire executive team. I'm excited to help this company grow even faster than it already has in its 13-year history."
Changing Roles for a Fast-Growing Company
Randy Ross has done an outstanding job for the company as President, considering the terrific success RoadVantage has enjoyed over the last few years. In the face of inventory shortages and interest rate headwinds, RoadVantage has continued to grow during his tenure as President. With John Lutman taking over the role of President, Randy will now be taking on the role of Executive Advisor. While in the Sales Department, Steve Chandler and Michael Picolo will continue to create sales growth with leadership roles guiding the Sales team's RVPs, DMs, and ADMs.
"We are impressed with our team's professionalism and we're proud of the company we've built. We're inspired by the daily efforts of our entire team to deliver exceptional customer experiences," said Randy Ross. "I'm energized by the changes we're making, and I look forward to John's addition to our leadership team. Our company will be able to offer even greater service to our agent partners."
"John Lutman is the perfect addition to our efforts," said Garret Lacour, RoadVantage CEO. "John will be an outstanding leader for RoadVantage. He has provided leadership in many industry roles with extraordinary success, and we are very excited about what he can do for our company! Our 4.7 rating with over 440 Google Reviews and top honors for seven years running with Diamond wins in the Dealers' Choice Awards are proof positive that we are the best in the industry, and John will help us deliver even more value. We will continue to exceed expectations as a premier provider to our agents, dealers, and customers."
