Advantage Parts Solutions Adds David Shepherd to Global Team

Advantage Parts Solutions announced that it added David Shepherd to its global team in the role of non-executive director. He will work closely with Advantage’s global executive leadership team to help guide its long-term strategic business plan.

“For over 30-years, Dave has been regarded as one of Europe’s most brilliant automotive minds, and it’s an honor to have his expertise on the team. His career insights will become extraordinarily valuable to the team as we continue to optimize the OEM parts supply chain,” says Bob Kirstiuk, co-founder and CEO, Advantage Parts Solutions. “Dave’s unique background and industry leadership will allow the Advantage team to continue our pursuit of delivering unparalleled and distinguishable value to the market. In addition, as Dave comes onboard, Advantage will look to create a new industry standard of integrating the first-notice-of-loss (FNOL) and vehicle dispatching process with the OEM parts supply chain.”

Shepherd joins Advantage’s global team after spending 13 years as regional managing director of Solera’s International Region, where he was directly responsible for accelerating the company’s reorganization outside North America.

“Advantage is uniquely positioned to deliver value to the global automotive sector in a way the industry has never seen before. Advantage will drive value and efficiencies propelling the industry forward by a significant measure,” Shepherd says.
