“Agero has continuously enhanced the roadside assistance market and is again leading the industry toward a broader suite of services.

“We are delighted to welcome Bryan to the Agero family,” says Dave Ferrick, CEO of Agero. “Bryan’s strong background in customer care is one of the primary reasons we brought him on board. The changing demographics of drivers and their increasing affinity with technology is altering the way they think about automobiles and brand loyalty. We need to increasingly approach our programs and practices from the perspective of the new ways in which today’s customers think about the driving experience and what they value. Bryan’s experience and enthusiasm makes him the perfect fit to help us through this evolution.”
