Parts Town Unlimited Shares CEO Change, More

On July 10, Addison, Ill.-based Parts Town Unlimited announced Steve Snower’s transition out of the CEO role after 21 years in the spot. Snower cited family considerations related to his wife’s ongoing recovery from leukemia treatment and stem cell transplant as the reason for his decision, details the release.

“This transition provides me with the flexibility that I need to support the needs of my family,” Snower says.

In turn, Bill Geary—who most recently led a multibillion-dollar division of Wesco, a technology-enabled, global distribution provider—will step into the CEO role. Snower will remain involved as executive chairman of the board.

“Bill is the right leader for the job,” Snower says. “He is a humble, ambitious leader with incredible and relevant experience. I’ve spent significant time getting to know Bill as a leader and a person and can’t wait to partner with him on this incredible journey. We will be working together to build Parts Town Unlimited for years to come.”

CFO Sets Retirement Date

Further, Glenn Chamberlin will join the company as its next chief financial officer. Lori Sherwood, who, as CFO since 2014, has led the business through 37 acquisitions and growth, announced her retirement for the spring of 2026. An avid traveler and photographer, Sherwood is looking forward to traveling the world.

“We’d like to thank Lori for her significant contributions to Parts Town Unlimited. She has worked tirelessly to ensure our growth and support our team,” Snower says. “She is a cultural icon at Parts Town, and I appreciate her integrity in providing substantial forward notice with a commitment to work with Glenn through an extended transition.”

Chamberlin was most recently executive vice president of finance at BradyPLUS, where he transformed the finance and accounting functions, supporting dozens of acquisitions and delivering EBITDA growth, says the release.
