Clark Hale of Kohlberg & Company and a Parts Authority board of directors member will be the new CEO, effective March 3
Lake Success, N.Y.—Parts Authority has announced a leadership transition that will see its current CEO and co-founder, Randy Buller, moving into the role of Chairman of the Board. Parts Authority also welcomes Clark Hale as its new CEO, effective March 3.
Randy Buller, along with his co-founders, Yaron Rosenthal, David Wotman, and Steve Yanofsky, grew a once New York-based family automotive warehouse distribution business with less than 10 locations to nearly 300 locations in 23 states and Washington, D.C. Over the span of 40 years, Buller drafted and executed a roadmap for growth through both organic growth and M&A.
“I know this feels like a big change, but I am very positive and confident in the future of Parts Authority. I look forward to continuing to do what I love, with people I love, while taking a small step back in the day-to-day. I’m thrilled to be handing the reins to Clark and I am looking forward to working with him to drive Parts Authority’s future success,” said Randy Buller.
Clark has been affiliated with Kohlberg & Company since 2019 and has also been serving as a member of the Parts Authority board of directors. He previously led several industrial products and services businesses, including Senneca Holdings, Hayward Industries, and Brooks Instrument.
“I want to thank Randy and his co-founders for entrusting me with leading the future of Parts Authority. It is an honor to be following in their footsteps in continuing on the legacy and culture of such a great organization,” said Hale.
