“I led the team that conducted the search to fill the position of Director, E-Commerce at PerTronix Aeromotive (the team engaged EcommerceRecruiters to assist with the search and, as this recommendation points out, Harry Joiner and Allan Siebert nailed it). The position is responsible for all e-commerce-related aspects of the business, including the tech stack, customer experience and online marketing. Trent quickly moved to the top of the list of candidates. After phone interviews, the in-person interview loop and reference checks, the position was offered to Trent and he accepted. I worked with Trent 1:1 during the on-boarding process and it was clear he is a quick study. He picked up everything that was thrown at him, easily developed a report with his co-workers and the third-party providers, and immediately set about prioritizing the tasks. Within three weeks of his arrival, the roadmap was finalized, including input from the CEO. Based on my observations, Trent stays on task, diplomatically seeks alignment with co-workers, including the C-suite, transparently reports the e-commerce KPIs, and drives for optimization and sales growth based on his extensive e-commerce experience and analysis of the data. Having never worked in the auto parts industry, he rapidly learned the market, channels, customer, competitive set and product lines. Further, a number of the choices made by his predecessors were not best-in-class or otherwise not suitable for an established middle-market business. He kept in place what worked and wasted no time replacing what didn’t. Trent combines the right mix of e-commerce knowledge, stakeholder collaboration, and positive attitude, as well as the focus on execution and will to win, to grow online revenue. If you sell online, you want him on your team.”
