Colmar, Pa.-based Dorman Products, Inc. announced Kathleen Pacheco will assume the position of president for its Specialty Vehicle segment.
Pacheco’s promotion is part of a planned succession for Lindsay Hunt, who previously served in the role, as well as being the CEO of SuperATV prior to that company being acquired by Dorman in 2022. Hunt will remain with the company in an advisory role to support the leadership team and serve as a resource to support continued growth, officials said.
“Kathleen has the experience and proven ability to drive growth, financial performance, and the continued success of our Specialty Vehicle business,” Kevin Olsen, Dorman’s President and Chief Executive Officer, said. “We thank Lindsay for her dedication and visionary leadership as she guided SuperATV’s smooth transition and seamless integration following the acquisition. Lindsay has been integral in building a strong culture focused on product innovation and commercial excellence, and we look forward to her continued support of the business as Kathleen takes on her new role.”
Prior to the move to specialty vehicle president, Pacheco served as COO of the business segment. Before joining Dorman, she held various senior leadership positions at Tenneco and Johnson Controls. She holds a Master of Science in engineering management from Marquette University and a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering from Kettering University.
“I’m inspired by the confidence that Dorman’s leadership has shown in me and the exciting future ahead for Dorman and its Specialty Vehicle business,” Pacheco said. “I’m committed to building on the SuperATV legacy and brand, and I look forward to benefiting from Lindsay’s experience and advice as I take on my new role.”
