Sue Godschalk has been named the new CEO of Federated Auto Parts, bringing a wealth of experience in management and financial roles.
Following a vote by the Federated executive committee on October 23, it was decided that Godschalk, president of Federated Auto Parts, would replace retiring CEO Larry Pavey as of January 1, 2025.
In her 39 years with Federated Auto Parts, Godschalk has held several management and financial positions of increasing responsibility before being named president in 2020. Early in her career, she worked as a jobber store manager, learning the business from the ground up before joining Federated soon after it was formed.
"Federated has been on a path of sustained growth and my goal is to continue the successful strategies that have led us in such a positive direction," said Godschalk. "I am proud to lead a team of so many talented professionals at Federated who are dedicated to enhancing value for our members, strengthening relationships with our supplier partners, and collaborating with our APSG partners at the Alliance and the Pronto Network. I look forward to the great things we will accomplish together."
