CLEVELAND -- National Automotive Experts, which promotes and administers automotive related aftermarket products for dealers and agencies, has promoted Bob Mancuso to executive vice president.

In this new position, Mancuso will oversee all direct and indirect sales. Mancuso will also continue to oversee the marketing and development of the products as well.

Mancuso has helped the overall growth of NAE since joining the company in 2006. "Our overall growth over the past couple of years has been incredible," Mancuso said. "We are very excited to keep expanding our excellent team. Our commitment to forging long term relationships with our dealers and agents has certainly impacted our company. Amongst our new hires, we are currently looking to add a vice president of indirect sales. This person will assist us with our current and future agent relationships."

NAE is also proud to announce two recent additions to their company. Jason Acierno, their national sales manager and Michael Finan, regional sales manager.

Jason Acierno comes to NAE with an impressive and proven training background. Acierno spent five years with the Impact Group

doing income development with dealers around the country, specializing in F&I training. Prior to Impact, Acierno was the general sales manager at a major automotive retailer.

"It's been my goal to work with a company that provides dealers with a level of integrity, compassion and quality customer service which is superior to conventional standards” says Acierno. "Being able to promote products that create so much excitement in a dealership has been a real pleasure over the past several months."

Since leaving Chrysler, Finan has acted as a general manager and a sales and F&I trainer for major dealer groups in the greater Cleveland area.

"I am excited to join National Automotive Experts' management team," said Finan. "I'm looking forward to working with a company

that has such incredible vision and innovative products. I will continue to enhance the sales and marketing efforts for NAE.

Increasing our dealer base is my number one priority."
