Chase Baxley

After graduating from the University of Florida Chase found the aftermarket and 18 years later still calls this industry home.  Chase is the Executive Vice President of Category Management & Supply Chain at XL Parts / The Parts House.   He held various positions in sales, purchasing, and management during his 18 year career with XL Parts / The Parts House: Intern, Buyer, Sales Representative, Director of Purchasing, Vice President of Product & Supply Chain, Chief Operating Officer, and Executive Vice President of Category Management & Supply Chain.    

Volunteer service remains a priority to continue growth within the industry and help provide a path for others to join.  Industry volunteer service includes: Auto Care Association Marketing and Communications Committee, Auto Care Association Education Committee, YANG founding member, Automotive Distribution Network Product Committee Chairman and member, Delphi Distributor Council, Veyance Distributor Council, Motorcraft Catalog Committee, ACDelco Battery Committee, Denso WD Council, Timken WD Council, AWDA Board of Governors, and ProntoNetwork Product Committee.

Earning significant responsibilities at The Parts House early in his career tested his resolve but allowed him to showcase strategic thinking and implementation.  Challenging status quo and leading by example are important values to Chase as a change agent with the ability to absorb tough critics who struggle embracing change. His proudest achievements include the successful development of new employees with bright futures at XL Parts / The Parts House and product program improvements providing millions in financial benefits.  While not in the office Chase enjoys playing golf or a nice warm beach.
