MEDFORD, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Agero, the leader in digital driver assistance services and software for the majority of automotive and auto insurance companies, has appointed former Safelite president and CEO Tom Feeney to its board of advisors. With more than three decades of experience leading the nation’s top vehicle glass services company, Feeney will guide Agero’s executive team on strategic initiatives spanning product innovation, market expansion, operational excellence, and partnerships across the automotive and insurance ecosystems.

“Tom is an exceptional business leader who led Safelite with true vision and impact,” said Dave Ferrick, Agero President and CEO. “He set the benchmark for Safelite to become the most trusted and admired vehicle service brand, a goal that aligns with our own standard at Agero. His industry expertise will be invaluable as we redefine the roadside experience for millions of drivers and push technological boundaries to deliver unmatched customer service.”

During his 35 years at Safelite, including 14 years as president and CEO beginning in 2008, Feeney spearheaded significant business growth. Under his leadership, the company grew 6x by focusing on two strategic principles – being People Powered and Customer Driven – as well as serving as a trusted advisor to the insurance industry.

“Agero is at the forefront of transforming the roadside assistance experience, combining cutting-edge technology with incomparable scale and a 50-year market presence,” said Feeney. “I’m eager to contribute my experience to help accelerate innovation, strengthen partnerships, and support Agero as it continues to deliver seamless, data-driven solutions for drivers, automakers, and insurers."

Since retiring as Safelite CEO in June 2022, Feeney has served as chairman emeritus with the company while contributing to numerous boards.
