The former president and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. of Nissan North America has been named chief executive of Los Angeles-based Edmunds.com, an online provider of free, unbiased automotive information that also features links to Web sites that sell cars. At Edmunds, Thomas will oversee operations and maintain relationships with various business partners. "We never want to lose sight of our core product, which is our neutrality and our presentation of valuable content to consumers," said Thomas. "We are introducing new products and services and continuing to grow, and we aim to better the consumer experience." A veteran of the auto industry, Thomas sensed a change coming and decided it was time to hop on the high-tech bandwagon. He left Nissan in 1997 and went to work as executive vice president at Auto Nation USA and then as president and CEO at Dreamlot.com. "When I was at Nissan, I knew there were going to be a lot of changes in the industry," he said. "At the time, I thought they would play out in the consolidator realm, but it turned out that more of the changes impacting the auto industry are in the Internet world." Thomas said car shoppers generally do a lot of research on the Web but prefer to do the final transaction at a dealership. "When they get to the lot, they often know exactly what they want," he said. In the highly competitive and ever-growing Internet market, Thomas finds the challenge for Edmunds is being able to distinguish itself and its services from other automotive Web sites. "There are a number of sites, and they all do different things," Thomas said. "I think that while we in the industry understand the differences, consumers don't necessarily understand them. We need to make sure that our added value comes through." -- Kristin Wilder |
