Corporate Parts Manager
I went to college and received my diploma in Business Management in 2009. I started with Great West December 2009, and I began as a warranty admin / service writer. After 3 years I moved into shipping and receiving and worked my way up to a front parts counter position. I received my Red Seal to make me a journeyman parts person in 2015. I then took the position as the Corporate Warranty Manager in 2019 and then moved into the Corporate Parts Manager role in December 2020 / January 2021 which is part of the Senior Management Team of 8 individuals (not executive management team yet lol). I also trained the service and parts team how to use the new DMS program in 2019 when we switched over.
