On the eve of AIMExpo, the largest powersports retailer in North America, RumbleOn, has shuffled its C-suite deck. Effective as of January 13, 2025, current Chairman of the Board of Directors Michael Quartieri has been appointed Chief Executive Officer; Cameron Tkach, VIP of Dealership Operations, has been promoted to Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of the Company; Becca Polak, Chair of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, has been named Vice Chairman and Lead Independent Director. Former CEO Michael Kennedy is no longer an officer of the company or a member of the Board of Directors.
“On behalf of the Board, I am extremely excited to have Mike Quartieri serve as RumbleOn’s next CEO,” says Polak. “As a key member of the Board, Mike has had a tremendous impact on our financial planning, recent recapitalization efforts and the continuation of the development of our business strategy.” Quartieri is said to be a tenured C-suite executive with significant leadership and strategic planning experience, in addition to having strong financial acumen and corporate governance expertise.
“Together with Cameron, an industry veteran with operational expertise, we believe that they have the experience, capabilities and strategic vision to accelerate RumbleOn’s success into the future,” adds Polak.
Tkach has more than 15 years of experience in the powersports industry and is a life-long enthusiast having grown up in the dealership environment. He rose through the ranks at RideNow Powersports, holding key operational positions including Sales Manager, Finance Manager, General Manager and Operations Director to his resume. After RumbleOn’s acquisition of RideNow in 2021, Tkach continued to hold a variety of leadership positions, including Vice President of Retail Operations, where he focused on optimizing retail performance through business strategy and customer focus.
“I am excited to serve as Chief Operating Officer of the company and leverage my unique operational and strategic expertise,” says Tkach. “I look forward to working with Mike Quartieri and the leadership team as we continue striving towards operational excellence and market leadership in the powersports industry.”
“With the payoff of our convertible notes earlier this month, we have made significant progress in strengthening our balance sheet,” adds Quartieri. “As we move forward, my focus will be on driving growth, improving profitability and producing strong cash flow.”
This time last year, Dealernews was “covering” Kennedy’s transition from long-time Harley exec and Vance & Hines leader to taking on the CEO role at RideNow and RumbleOn. “On behalf of the Board, I want to thank Mike Kennedy for his contributions and dedication to RumbleOn,” concludes Quartieri. “We are grateful for his leadership and wish him well in all of his future endeavors.”
