TrakMotive has announced the promotion of Evelin Diaz to vice president of operations, US. Diaz, the second employee ever hired at TrakMotive, has been instrumental in the company's growth throughout its nearly two-decade history. She brings close to 19 years of experience with TrakMotive and 24 years in the automotive aftermarket industry to her new position.
Diaz joined TrakMotive, helping unload the first container and spearheading initial product sales. She most recently served as general manager of operations, USA, where she managed global inventory planning and stock ordering for TrakMotive's Vietnam and Mexico warehouses, leading a team of nearly eight direct reports and 75 indirect reports.
Diaz has overseen every TrakMotive warehouse expansion and relocation, including the East Coast distribution center and multiple West Coast relocations. She has been key in training department heads during the company's expansion and has furthered her professional development through Northwood University's Aftermarket 2.0 program and participation in the AAP accreditation process.
"Evelin has been an integral part of TrakMotive since the very beginning," said Robert Zhu, CEO of TrakMotive. "She has grown alongside the company, leading with dedication, adaptability, and an unwavering commitment to our people. Her ability to manage complex operations while fostering a family-oriented culture makes her the perfect fit for this role."
Diaz commented, "What I love most about this company is that even as we continue to grow, we still operate like a family. There is a deep-rooted care for our employees and their families, and that's what makes TrakMotive special."
In her new role, Diaz will focus on operational efficiencies, global inventory strategies, and warehouse expansion initiatives as part of TrakMotive's continued growth in the aftermarket industry.
