Send your people and recruitment news to the editor: john@aftermarket.co.uk Fadool named BorgWarner president and CEO BorgWarner’s executive VP and chief operating officer, Joseph Fadool, took over as president and CEO on February 6. He is also a member of the board. He succeeded Frédéric Lissalde, who has retired and stepped down from the board, but will serve in an advisory role until August 30 to support a seamless transition, the company said. Fadool joined BorgWarner in 2010 and has held a number of top positions across the company. Prior to joining, he worked at Continental Automotive Systems as VP for North American Electronic Operations and at Ford. Alexis Michas, nonexecutive chairman of the board, said Fadool has been a trusted member of the leadership team for 14 years. “Having served as a president of four business units, Joe has an incredibly deep understanding of our industry, technology focused product portfolio, operations, culture and strong customer relationships. “We believe Fred’s passion for our business and customer focus have positioned the company for success for years to come. We look forward to celebrating his career over the coming months as we transition to our next CEO and send Fred off to a well-deserved retirement.” Joseph Fadool Dayco UK has promoted Ann-Marie Dean to provide the new leadership for the team serving the UK and Ireland, following the retirement in December of long-term national sales manager, Steve Carolan. Dean joined Dayco in early 2018, when she moved from the dealer side of the industry to take on roles in parts operations and business-tobusiness sales for both cars and commercial vehicles, to transition to the independent aftermarket. Carolan said: “Ann-Marie has an obvious enthusiasm for the industry and that’s a great attribute to have when you also have an understanding of the challenges technicians face.” Dean said: “Over the last six years, I have benefited from working with a great team, under dependable leadership, during which the business has grown in both its reputation and market share.” “Although the trade is sensibly looking at how to benefit from the growth in electric vehicles, it’s also wise to remember that the vast majority of the vehicles that will enter the independent workshop for the next decade will have an internal combustion engine, whether petrol or diesel.” Dean said this meant the automotive sector would continue to need Dayco. Auto Windscreens has appointed Mima Rybanska to the newlycreated post of head of strategic partnerships. Rybanska, who has a decade of experience in the automotive industry, joins the business from WhoCanFixMyCar. She is a former supercar instructor for Everyman Racing and has previously worked with the AA, where she launched the AA Approved Garage Network. She has also worked for Comline Auto Parts. Rybanska will be at the helm of Auto Windscreens’ new Auto Calibrate service, which is designed to support garages and bodyshops with a remote solution for diagnostics and programming, as well as ADAS calibrations. Shaun Atton, Auto Windscreens’ business development director, said: “This is the first time we’ve introduced a new product, a remote solution for diagnostics and programming, as well as ADAS calibrations which represent a growing market.” Rybanska in driving seat for new Auto Windscreens post Ann-Marie Dean takes the Dayco helm Mima Rybanska Ann-Marie Dean
