RPM Automotive Group has appointed current director Lawrence Jaffe as its new chair replacing Grant Carman who will remain on the board as a director.
Jaffe is a co-founder of RPM Automotive Group and a major shareholder, with more than 25 years of experience in the automotive sector.
He served as RPM Australasia chief executive until 2015 when the group completed the sale of its largest subsidiaries.
Jaffe then became chair until the company listed on the ASX, before re-joining the executive team. He has extensive expertise in finance coupled with a proven track record of building and scaling businesses.
“This board refresh signifies the company’s transition as it matures into a new era of leadership,” RPM managing director and chief executive Clive Finkelstein says.
“Building on the revitalisation of the senior executive team with the appointment of Guy Nicholls as director and chief operating officer and Rebecca Payne as chief financial officer. These changes highlight the increased focus on operational excellence as we scale RPM for our next phase of growth.
“The board wishes to thank Grant for his significant contribution as chair over the past 4.5 years and looks forward to his continued support and expertise in his new role as a company director,” he says.
