Its innovative solutions cover one-stop inventory management, operational analytics, and digital marketing, helping those in the commercial vehicle space supply chain increase visibility and efficiency so businesses can focus on doing their jobs.
Joining the company, Young brings 12 years of automotive experience, most recently from TrueCar, where he played a pivotal role in scaling the platform from a startup to a publicly traded company. His expertise in driving digital automotive marketplaces makes him an ideal leader to accelerate growth within Work Truck Solutions’ Comvoy offering, and expand the company’s overall product strategy.
"Alex's deep understanding of automotive marketplace dynamics and user-centric designs will be transformative for the next steps for our organization," stated Aaron Johnson, the Chief Executive Officer of Work Truck Solutions.

"We'll be looking at implementing shopping tools, reliability scores, and personalized recommendations that simply don't exist in this space today."
Additionally, Young will have product responsibility for dealership SaaS offerings, with an eye toward further expanding the company’s leadership position and history of innovation, as demonstrated by products such as EZ Order and CV Showroom, while keeping the B2B buyer experience as the cornerstone of future efforts.
