Promoting from within. RumbleOn has focused on its “Vision 2026” strategy, tabbing top talent from within its ranks to see what is around the corner. The realignment sees new roles and added responsibilities for a trio of top visionaries within the nation’s largest powersports retailer: Cam Tkach becomes VP of Dealer Operations, with Chase Vance and Lyle Kramper also stepping up.
“We're aligning our team to help us focus on the pillars of our strategic plan, which we call Vision 2026,” explains RumbleOn CEO Mike Kennedy. “The first pillar includes running the best performing dealerships in America. The second is about expanding the impact of our RideNow Cash Offer tool to grow the pre-owned business. These organizational changes specifically address our strategic efforts."
In the new structure, Tkach has been promoted to VP of Dealership Operations. In this new role, Tkach will lead a national team focused on driving performance and operational excellence across RideNow’s dealership network. His eight direct reports have responsibilities for sales, marketing, parts, accessories and service.
Another current RumbleOn employee, Chase Vance, will now take responsibility for the RideNow Cash Offer tool, which is a key component of the company's plan for growth in the pre-owned business across all of the company's dealerships.
"I believe that the best performing dealerships are aligned with their OEMs and are held to high performance standards by their owners and customers,” Kennedy adds. “Since our dealership footprint reaches all four corners of the country, it's important that we have a consistent experience in every one of our 55 dealerships. That's why we are partnering even more closely with our OEM partners and aligning the metrics by which we measure success."
RumbleOn has also streamlined its regional marketing and support functions in favor of this nationwide structure. "I have told my team that we will be driven by a 'composite culture,' requiring all of our dealership GMs to share and compare their dealership performance with their RideNow peers," continued Kennedy. "This approach will help all of our dealerships improve and move quickly in support of our strategic objectives."
To that end, Lyle Kramper — a former dealer and a seasoned retail leader at RideNow — will take on the additional responsibility. Kramper is now leading the company's "composite culture" initiative, which has already shown its value to the GM's who are participating in the meetings.
“We are confident that these organizational changes will further strengthen our execution and drive RumbleOn's success,” concluded Kennedy. “I expect that our OEM partners and our retail customers will appreciate our efforts to become a network of the best dealerships in the country."
