Spectra Premium’s Aftermarket Division is undergoing significant changes with the appointment of Martin Brazeau as vice president, aftermarket product, and the nomination of two new corporate directors.

Eric Renaud

Eric Renaud has been nominated as corporate director, category management aftermarket. Aaron Athey also has been nominated as corporate director, product development aftermarket to further improve Spectra’s aftermarket product development process and category management capabilities.

“In the continued effort to streamline the product development and category management teams, we implemented this structural change,” said Jason Best, senior vice president, aftermarket, for Spectra Premium. “The new aftermarket product team’s mandate will be to focus on future growth by maximizing first-to-market product releases and continue to provide industry-leading category management insight. On behalf of the entire management team, I wish each individual success in their new roles.”

Aaron Athey

Brazeau, who previously held the role of vice president of Asian operations, will make the transition into the role of vice president of aftermarket product. In this role, he will assume responsibility for directing the category management, product development, project management, quality control and aftermarket engineering teams in both Asia and North America.

Renaud and Athey both see their respective roles expand as well. Renaud’s new role will now encompass all product categories falling under the purview of the aftermarket division, while Athey, in his new capacity, will take charge of the development process across all product lines. Both corporate directors will now report to Brazeau.
