Automotive Distribution Network Names Gil Gunn Vice President Of Product

Gunn's automotive career began when he was just 10 years old selling auto parts in a jobber store. From there, he managed a parts store in college and later ran a jobber location with service bays in the back. Gunn moved on to working as a factory rep, eventually becoming vice president of sales and marketing for J.C. Hamilton Co., before joining Parts Plus in 1993.

GERMANTOWN, Tenn. – Gil Gunn has been promoted to vice president of product for the Automotive Distribution Network, according to Mike Lambert, president of the Network.
 
“Since 1993, Gil has helped take our group to the next level in the industry,” Lambert said. “In his former position as vice president of marketing, his input into the development of the Network’s marketing and training programs greatly benefited the independent business owners who are the backbone of the association. In his new role as vice president of product, Gil brings fresh ideas to this area and a wealth of experience.”
