International. Gordon will lead the business transformation that began last November with the acquisition of Spectra by Turnspire Capital Partners.
Spectra Premium Mobility Solutions today announced that Josh Gordon, who previously served as Spectra's President and Chief Operating Officer, has been named President and Chief Executive Officer, effective immediately.
Gordon joined Spectra in November 2021 and brings a wealth of experience in the automotive industry, with previous leadership roles at Fram Group and Old World Industries, as well as rich commercial experience in consumer products.

"We are excited about all the positive momentum at Spectra Premium, which continues with Josh's appointment as the new CEO. Josh is a proven leader in the industry and we are confident he will drive Spectra's future success," said Ilya Koffman, Chairman of the Board of Spectra Premium Mobility Solutions.
"We would also like to thank Denis for all his contributions to Spectra Premium, and look forward to continuing to work with him in his role as a member of the board of directors," Koffman added.
For his part, Chabot said that "Josh is the perfect person to take Spectra forward. He has the right combination of experience, leadership and temperament to realize Spectra's full potential."
"I am excited to continue my commitment to this great team and this great business," he said.
"Spectra Premium's primary goals are to optimize our unique North American manufacturing capabilities, as well as our superior engineering expertise, to reduce supply chain risks and grow product categories for our valued customers," Gordon said.
The new CEO stressed, "With a healthy balance sheet, we have invested in improved service levels through inventory availability, production improvements and talent upgrades in key positions, all of which will allow us to serve our current and future aftermarket and original equipment customers."
