Buller, along with his co-founders, Yaron Rosenthal, David Wotman and Steve Yanofsky, helped transform a once New York-based family business with less than 10 locations into a leading nationally-recognized automotive warehouse distributor with nearly 300 locations in 23 states and Washington, D.C., the company said.
Using his financial background, entrepreneurial mindset and automotive industry expertise, Buller helped build the business by offering an unparalleled depth and breadth of brand name inventory to customers, focusing on customer service, investing heavily in technology, and valuing team member satisfaction and professional growth,
