Next SMU Community Chat to feature new Reibus CEO Jared Rowe on July 24

The webinar will take place on July 24 at 11 am ET. You can register here. The live webinar is free for all to attend. A recording will be available only to SMU members.

What we’ll discuss

We’ll talk about what the latest leadership change at Reibus means for the company as it re-focuses on core businesses in steel, metals, and freight.

We’ll also discuss how the market looks based on the activity Reibus sees coming across its digital platform.

Finally, we’ll explore how Rowe’s background in automotive and technology should help him lead a company whose roots are in steel.

Why you should listen

Rowe is taking over where founder and former CEO John Armstrong and interim CEO Temy Mancusi-Ungaro left off. He has held leadership roles at Cox Automotive, AutoWeb, FordDirect, and YP.com. At Cox, he oversaw the media solutions group, which included the popular Kelley Blue Book, AutoTrader, and Dealer.com.

Reibus was founded in 2018 and expanded quickly, perhaps too quickly. Now the company is retrenching as it shifts from rapid growth to investing in its platform—the company’s foundation—to better support customers and the company’s future growth opportunities.

Rowe will address the challenges and opportunities that come with that process.
