AAM Group Adds to Engine Pro Team
The AAM Group, which recently assumed operational oversight of the Engine Pro program, has hired Alan Stevenson and promoted Steven Perrotta to expand the program’s product management and marketing capabilities, the company announced.
Stevenson, who brings 30 years of experience in the high-performance internal engine world, most recently served JE Pistons for 17 years in roles such as product manager, sales manager and senior technical manager.
As product manager for Engine Pro, Stevenson will work to stabilize margins, work with existing and new global suppliers and negotiate terms of sale to benefit Engine Pro’s customers and shareholders, the company said, and will prioritize line growth over the short and long terms.
“The world of internal engines has been the entire focus of my career as well as a lifelong passion, and I’m honored to bring that focus to such a strong and respected brand like Engine Pro,” Stevenson said. “With AAM assuming management over the Engine Pro program, we now have the benefit of a full-time, fully dedicated Product Manager with the support of the program’s Product and Marketing Committees.”
In his role as Marketing Leader, Perrotta will work to bring Engine Pro into the existing portfolio of AAM Group marketing programs, integrating tools and services that make sense for shops in the engine performance industry, the company said, as well as devising new solutions that address the particular concerns of those business owners.
Perrotta, who previously served AAM as a marketing specialist, will also create and execute an ongoing strategy to generate exposure and influence for Engine Pro supplier partners and the program’s private label brand, the company said.
