Three Months After Launch, Work Truck Marketplace Comvoy Sees Success, Led by Strong Internal Team

CHICO, Calif., Feb. 12, 2020­­ /PRNewswire/ -- Comvoy, the first and only structured, searchable marketplace for work-ready trucks and vans, launched in November 2019 to match customers with the right work truck for the right job--across any vocation, body type, vehicle or upfit manufacturer. Senior team members Nikki Wilson, Kevin Kinell, and Gerry Ogris, in addition to key advisor Bernie Brenner, have helped shape the marketplace and ushered in its early successes within the dealer community.

"Comvoy is perfection," said Mark Santilli at Jeff Gordon Chevrolet, a dealership based in Wilmington, North Carolina. "I've been waiting for someone in the commercial vehicle industry to understand the need for a marketplace that connects buyers with dealerships. By showing businesses the available inventory in their area, it not only helps them hone in on the work trucks and vans they need for their jobs, but also helps dealerships make more sales. I'm glad Comvoy finally exists, and I can't wait to see the impact this has on our business in the months and years to come."

Comvoy has cultivated strong engagement with dealers nationwide, demonstrating, early on, the long-term impact this commercial vehicle marketplace is poised to have on the entire industry. This success would not have been made possible without Comvoy's strong team.

    --  Kevin Kinell: Comvoy's VP of Product & Engineering, Kinell has a proven
        track record of guiding tech start-ups, building impressive products,
        and developing great teams. From co-founding ChicoStart.com, a startup
        incubator that helps early-stage companies, to his work as a founding
        developer at Auctiva, the first eBay auction management company,
        Kinell's variety of experience in the tech and marketplace space helped
        him cultivate the right design and strong engineering team behind
        Comvoy.

    --  Nikki Wilson: Comvoy's Director of Marketing and Communications, Wilson
        spent the last nine years directing commercial vehicle marketing
        initiatives for Ford Motor Company focused on targeting small to
        medium-sized businesses--the same audience that Comvoy serves. With her
        deep understanding of the work truck sector, Wilson ensures that the
        Comvoy marketplace allows dealers to most effectively engage with their
        buyers.
    --  Gerry Ogris: Comvoy's New Business Development Lead, Ogris has
        successfully serviced dealerships for over 25 years. At Dealertrack he
        held several VP positions leading multiple software sales and operations
        teams contributing to its ascent to a billion-dollar company culminating
        in an acquisition by Cox Automotive. In his tenure at Reynolds +
        Reynolds, he led sales teams across all software product lines to
        significantly increase auto dealership market penetration. Ogris has
        utilized his relationships and industry know-how to advise the Comvoy
        team and contribute to the marketplace's early success.

    --  Bernie Brenner: Co-founder of TrueCar, Brenner joined on as an early
        advisor to Comvoy, focused on the mission to transform the commercial
        vehicle industry. Leveraging his vast industry experience, Brenner has
        been a key strategist and mentor to shape the creation of the Comvoy
        marketplace.
