Sensata Technologies, a global industrial technology company and a leading provider of sensor-rich solutions, recently announced the appointment of Russ Stebbins as general manager of the global aftermarket business unit. Stebbins’ appointment plays a critical role in supporting Sensata’s continual growth strategy and driving its leadership position in the automotive aftermarket.

Stebbins is joining Sensata with more 25 years of automotive experience. In the past decade, he has held aftermarket leadership positions with well-known brands like TRW, Lumileds and Akebono Brake Corporation. Additionally, Stebbins is a current board member of the Automotive Sales Council.

“I am excited to be part of Sensata’s aftermarket family – we have a history of impressive growth with our flagship brand Schrader and a bright future ahead of us,” said Stebbins. “I am humbled to work with this team of experts to continue bringing Sensata’s OE expertise to the aftermarket. I am confident in our ability to realize the full potential of our current TPMS business as well as the many other OE-leading sensing products Sensata offers.”

Kelly Sadler, previous general manager, has decided to pursue another opportunity within the company and is leading the integration of PRECO, a leading supplier of radar solutions and a recent acquisition of Sensata. Kelly has played a pivotal role over the last two years in expanding Sensata’s aftermarket product portfolio globally.

“Many thanks to Kelly for her leadership over the past two years and her support with my on-boarding to this role. I wish her the best in her future endeavors,” said Stebbins.
