ARI names Ohio resident to board of directors

By Daniel Burkwald

Milwaukee-based ARI Network Services Inc. announced that P. Lee Poseidon, 52, of Shaker Heights, Ohio, has been appointed to its board of directors.

"Lee's broad and deep experience in the automotive industry — including providing electronic parts catalogs and dealer business management software systems as well as managing the industry's premier dealer association — will be an important asset as ARI enters its next phase of profitable growth," said Brian E. Dearing, chairman of the board.

Poseidon's recent business experience includes chief operating officer roles at Quorum Information Technologies, a Canadian supplier of automotive information management systems and services, and the National Automotive Dealers Association's Dealership Operations unit.

"I am really looking forward to leveraging my skills and experience as a member of ARI's Board of Directors," Poseidon said. "I have seen, first-hand, how information technology has dramatically improved the automotive service and distribution channel, and I believe that the same potential exists within ARI's core markets, including power sports and power equipment. I am excited about the opportunities that are available to ARI by building out a strategic vision to deliver a full range of technology-enabled services that connect manufacturers, distributors and dealers, and I can't wait to help make that vision a reality."

ARI is a provider of electronic parts catalogs and related technology and services for dealers, distributors and manufacturers in the manufactured equipment markets.
