Lordi will report to Mitchell Jacobson, who has accepted the position of executive chairman of TriMark’s board of directors.

TriMark is a market leader with tremendous opportunities for continued growth,” he says. “I’ve admired the determination and competency of the leadership team since my first interactions and look forward to being a part of that team as we embark together on the next chapter in TriMark’s long and successful history.”

Lordi will oversee the dealership’s finance and IT operations. He has 30 years of experience in finance, operations, accounting and risk management.

Jacobson adds, “Frank is already a member of our team and has a proven track of success here at TriMark. I’m excited that he has decided to join us on a full time and permanent basis. It’s a true testament to the growth and future success he sees in TriMark.”
