ST. LOUIS –

Dent Wizard International has brought aboard a former transportation company president and chief executive officer to serve as its new chief financial officer.

Chosen for the position is Jim Powers, who most recently led UniGroup and its subsidiaries, United Van Lines, Mayflower Transit and other relocation and logistics-related entities, the automotive reconditioning services company announced early this month.

This follows news from early May that the company has promoted Mike Black to chief executive officer, Addison Thomas to chief operating officer and Doug Grill to regional vice president of Dent Wizard’s Mid-South region.

Powers brings an extensive background influenced by various prior leadership roles and will report to Black, according to the company.

“Dent Wizard’s on a tremendous growth path, which has been continuing for more than seven years,” said Black. “Jim brings the intellectual capital and experiences that will help us continue the trend. I’m excited to have him on the senior team and look forward to his strategic support for years to come.”

Prior to heading UniGroup, Dent Wizard said that Powers held CFO and other executive management positions at Viasystems Technologies, Crain Industries, Berg Electronics and Moog Automotive.
