Nathan Shipley

Executive Director, Industry Analyst Automotive

“The automotive industry will see more innovation in the next 10 years than it has in the last 50. Change in our industry is happening quickly. How will these changes impact brands and retailers and how the aftermarket does business? It’s easy (and important) to focus on the short term: profit, margin, assortment, and foot traffic. But is your business keeping an eye on the mobility model of the future? Vehicles, transportation options, technology, and the changing ownership model will reshape our entire industry down the road.”
