NuVinAir Global announces new COO

Troy Blackwell will act as chief operating officer, reporting to CEO Kyle Bailey.

NuVinAir Global, which offers patented vehicle-cleanliness solutions and revenue-generating platforms to automotive businesses, has announced Troy Blackwell as chief operating officer.

Joining the company in August 2019 as senior vice president of global operations, he will continue reporting to Kyle Bailey, CEO and founder.

Blackwell has been responsible for providing leadership and vision for the company’s customer programs, national accounts, operational controls and franchisee success.

“As COO, I look forward to playing a greater leadership role in managing our incredible team, as well as driving the company’s robust franchisee network that now spans more than 40 territories,” said Blackwell. “Since joining NuVinAir earlier this year, I’ve gotten a real grasp on the company’s untapped growth potential, and my new role will enable me to scale our partnerships faster and more effectively.”

With nearly two decades of automotive-leadership experience, Blackwell most recently hails from AutoNation, where he spearheaded a major brand extension for the largest automotive group in the nation.

Prior to AutoNation, Blackwell worked for more than a decade at CarMax, where he served as both regional sales development leader and general manager.

“After hiring Troy, we immediately began to see the value of his corporate-leadership background and vast network, which he has been harvesting over his 20-year career, and the benefit they provide to our growth strategy,” Bailey said. “Now as a member of our executive team, Troy will continue to provide his strong leadership and vision as we continue our aggressive growth track.”
