CarParts.com, Inc. announced the hiring of tenured industry leader Michael Huffaker as Chief Operating Officer effective from December 5, 2022 . Huffaker brings with him unparalleled e-commerce and brick-and-mortar expertise, having most recently served as Vice President, Category Leader, for Amazon Fresh Grocery. He has a history of step-change performance improvement in the businesses he has managed, including known, best-in-class retailers.

Huffaker's interest in the B2B sector also allows for an opportunity in a currently fragmented space, as he sees the potential to double down on the level of service that can be offered. Laser focused on building and scaling supply chains, product and business management, and building large, diverse teams, Huffaker's approach aligns with the long-term strategy and vision of CarParts.com. As COO, Huffaker is responsible for ensuring customers receive a world-class experience, from the moment they place an order to the time it arrives on their doorstep.
