NuVinAir® Cyclone
NuVinAir
NuVinAir®, an industry innovator in the world of vehicle cleanliness, recently announced the hiring of Patrick Sommer, former Brand President of Drive N Style, a Roark Capital portfolio company.
Sommer has extensive sales and business development experience, specifically in the automotive industry and franchise development. A former officer for the United States Army, Sommer also built an impressive military leadership background.
He will advance the NuVinAir® mission of offering a line of science-backed, fully patented products and defined revenue-generating-platforms specific to the automotive industry.
“We are extremely excited about bringing Patrick on board with us,” said NuVinAir® Chief Executive Officer Kyle Bailey. “There is great alignment with not only Patrick’s experience, but his values and vision for the future of NuVinAir®.”
The Dallas-based company recently launched its semi-absentee investment platform across the United States in partnership with a major franchise consulting organization. New distributors receive exclusive rights to their territories, as well as a fully branded, staffed, and supported investment model.
“NuVinAir® is breaking new ground here,” Patrick said. “Kyle and his team have worked so hard to do all of the legwork in terms of patenting the technology, testing the concept, and refining the products. I’m excited to help take it to the next level.”
Sommer was a top performer with Driven Brands and played an integral role in redefining the way it provides aftermarket services. He sold dozens of new territories through aggressive business development and accrued an extensive number of contacts throughout the automotive industry.
“Hiring someone with Patrick’s expertise opens a new door for NuVinAir as we launch our new distributor model,” Bailey said. “He walks the talk and has been though every scenario possible. He will be a huge asset to our distributors and partners as they grow.”
