AUSTIN,
Texas, July 25, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The
Next Stage of Expansion
"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!" — CEO Garret Lacour
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
