Daphne, AL — TERREPOWER announced the appointment of Michelle Allen as Executive Vice President, Independent Aftermarket Sales, effective June 15. She succeeds Chris Garner, who has led the business with distinction and plans to retire at the end of the year.

“Michelle’s customer-first mindset, commercial acumen, and proven ability to lead high-performing teams will be instrumental as we build on Chris’s strong foundation and continue to grow our Independent Aftermarket business,” said Duncan Gillis, CEO of TERREPOWER. “Her deep experience spanning distribution, professional installer, retail, and other key aftermarket channels, combined with her track record of delivering sustained growth, makes her exceptionally well-suited for this role.”

“TERREPOWER has built an outstanding reputation for customer partnership, innovation, and operational excellence. I’m honored to join the team and excited to work alongside our customers and employees as we build on the strong foundation Chris has established and pursue the next phase of growth,” said Michelle Allen.

Allen brings more than two decades leadership experience across the automotive aftermarket and broader commercial landscape. Most recently, she served as Vice President of North America Sales – DIFM at Valvoline Global, where she held P&L responsibility for a major North American business and led a large commercial organization, delivering sustained growth across installer, service center, dealership, and distribution channels.

Allen’s background includes leadership roles across both B2B and B2C channels, where she has consistently delivered growth through customer-centric strategies, operational discipline, and strong execution. Her experience spans strategic account management, brand leadership, and P&L ownership across complex, multi-channel environments.

Garner will retire at the end of the year following his tenure with TERREPOWER, which began on January 1, 2006, and includes his transition to the company through the acquisition of Garner Electric in December 2005. Since that time, he has played a pivotal role in scaling TERREPOWER’s Independent Aftermarket Sales organization into a market-leading commercial engine.

During his tenure, Garner has been instrumental in expanding key customer relationships, strengthening channel partnerships across both retail and traditional channels, and driving sustained revenue and share growth. His leadership has helped shape the company’s go-to-market strategy, deepen customer loyalty, and build a high-performing commercial team aligned to execution and accountability.

Garner’s legacy includes not only strong financial performance, but also the development of a durable commercial foundation that positions TERREPOWER for continued growth across the aftermarket ecosystem.

“Chris has been a defining leader in building our Independent Aftermarket platform and shaping the way we serve our customers today,” said Gillis. “His deep industry relationships, entrepreneurial mindset, and unwavering focus on performance have left a lasting mark on this organization. On behalf of all of us, I want to sincerely thank Chris for his leadership and commitment over the years.

At the same time, we are excited to welcome Michelle to TERREPOWER. She brings a powerful combination of commercial rigor, customer insight, and team leadership that will help us accelerate our next phase of growth. Michelle is exactly the kind of leader we need as we continue to scale the business and strengthen our position in the market.”
