Lotlinx has hired Randy Kobat as its chief commercial officer, overseeing a number of divisions dedicated to executing the dealer software provider’s innovation and growth strategies.

“Randy has been a trusted advisor to Lotlinx for years, and we are thrilled to officially welcome him to our executive team,” writes Lotlinx Executive Chairman Len Short in a release. “He brings a rare combination of commercial expertise, strategic vision, and deep automotive industry experience. Randy’s leadership will be key to aligning our commercial operations and helping Lotlinx capture the full potential of our market opportunity.”

A thought leader and frequent speaker, Kobat’s experience includes nine years at Cox Automotive as well as stops at CDK Global, Service Repair Solutions and Trilogy Enterprises. He most recently served as president of Repair OnDemand (div. Repairify).

“Dealers don’t need more opinions and channel debates; they need answers they can use on Monday morning,” Kobat says. “Lotlinx ties performance to real inventory at the VIN level, so teams can stop guessing and take action. I’m joining to align sales, marketing and client success around execution that helps dealers move the right vehicles faster, waste less spend, and protect gross.”
