In his new role, Amyot will be responsible for BBB’s North American internal combustion engine (ICE)-driven business, the Independent Aftermarket Sales & Service team and the Strategic Operations team.

Maria Caballero, BBB’s senior director of OES programs, has been promoted to president of BBB’s OCI business unit. Caballero is a 25-year veteran of the automotive industry. In her new role, Caballero is responsible for the continued growth of BBB’s OCI business unit.

Steve Mesarick, BBB’s general counsel, has been promoted to chief legal officer and executive vice president – global transactions.

In addition to his current risk-management and business-advisory responsibilities, Mesarick will be responsible for originating, structuring, and completing all mergers, acquisitions, joint ventures and divestitures globally.

Mark Nugent, who recently returned to BBB, is the company’s executive vice president and chief sustainability officer. In his new role, Nugent will lead BBB’s global strategy efforts and continue to enhance BBB’s industry-leading sustainability program.

Nugent replaces Tim Roth, who has elected to retire.

“Tim has been a tremendous partner and played a pivotal role our company’s transformation. I wish him all the best in his well-deserved retirement,” said Duncan Gillis, BBB’s CEO. “Promoting proven leaders like John, Maria, and Steve, welcoming back a great leader in Mark, and adding a high caliber, global leader in Duygu, puts BBB in a strong position to capitalize on the opportunities ahead of us.”
