Dilawri Group of Companies, the country’s largest automotive group, has named Jerry Chenkin as the Vice-Chair of its Advisory Board.
Chenkin brings more than four decades of experience in the country’s automotive industry to his new role at Dilawri — he served as Honda Canada’s CEO for the last four years and retired from the position on March 31, 2017.
“After 42 years of working directly with manufacturing and distribution, I’m looking forward to providing strategic direction to Canada’s largest automotive group,” said Chenkin in a news release.
“Jerry has experience in both sales and production facilities, which is unique in Canada,” said Ajay Dilawri, one of the group’s three dealer principals.
Chenkin explained in the statement that he will not be involved in “day-to-day” operations, but will offer his “experience to help ensure the company moves forward as a leader in the industry.”
Dilawri emphasized the advantage Chenkin brings to the group with his loyalty to customer service and cutting-edge technology. “We know that his guidance will benefit all of our customers,” said Dilawri.
