Vicky Poarch | E-mail
Director of Finance and Administration
Vicky
has over 25 years of administrative/accounting experience. From starting her career in the auditing department of the Federal
Reserve Bank to serving over 14 years with Qualitee International, Vicky enjoys the challenges of working in accounting. Vicky
was the Office/Credit Manager with Qualitee International and was promoted to Director of Finance and Administration of
AutoPartSource. She enjoys the "work family" relationship she has with the employees of AutoPartSource and it is those
relationships that make coming to work fun! Vicky strongly feels that the customer/vendor relationship is important too and
works hard to keep overdue accounts to a minimum. "I feel that if AutoPartSource ships the parts, then the customer should pay
promptly" We are not a "guaranteed sale" distributor, therefore, prompt payments are a key to a solid relationship with the
Accounting Department." In her off time, Vicky enjoys spending time with her family, pets and friends. Vicky also enjoys
sipping on fine wines - or any wine to end a stressful day!
Lenny Chapman | E-mail
Director of Sales and Marketing
Administration
Lenny has 27 years of experience in the automotive aftermarket, beginning his career in Akron, Ohio where he managed a tire center
for eleven years before going to work for one of his suppliers. Moving to the WD level in 1989, Lenny worked as a Territory Sales
Manger for a large wholesale distributor located in Cleveland, Ohio. Soon he was asked to manage one of their hard part divisions in
the beautiful state of Virginia. After ten years of service as a WD, Lenny joined AutoPartSource (formerly Qualitee International),
in 1998. Lenny started with Qualitee as a Field Service Specialist, moving quickly to National Accounts Manager after one year with
the company. Promoted to his current position in February of 2005, Lenny states, "My experience through all levels of distribution
has helped me to better understand the needs of our customers. It is important to always be approachable and ready to listen to what
the customer has to say. Each distributor is the real expert knowing what will work in his/her local area. In order to be helpful and
to have the successes we all want, most times all you have to do is listen, and then figure out how to fulfill that need!"
