Skyward Automotive Products (SKP) announced senior leadership changes within its U.S team. Effective Jan. 1, Matt Verger has been named president of Skyward Automotive Products and taken over management of the SKP leadership team. Verger succeeds Jim Murphey, who was the founding president of SKP in 2016.
Previously, Verger served as vice president of sales for US and EMEA for Spectra Premium Industries. Most recently, he worked as a senior vice president at Active International, an international media conglomerate.
