As he settles into his new leadership role, FinditParts’ founder, David Seewack, transitions into his new role as Chairman of the Board.
“I had a vision of building a marketplace where our customers can purchase any OEM and aftermarket parts with ease and deliver with excellence,” Seewack said. “We built the most robust supply chain in the industry, with over $8 billion in available inventory. These leadership changes position us to accelerate innovation and execution, strengthen our market position, and deliver unmatched value to our customers and partners.”
Seewack founded FinditParts in 2010, aiming to revolutionize the online buying and selling of heavy-duty truck parts. His leadership has solidified him in the industry, earning the company a top spot as a trusted marketplace for parts.
Seewack will continue to guide the company’s vision and strategy as Chairman.
His ability to balance daily operational needs with broader objectives makes him a powerful advocate for organizations with transportation fleets.

His strategic vision, client-first approach, and leadership are helping shape the future of fleet management.”
Joining the company in 2019, Davis has made significant contributions to the overall growth and leadership of Fleet Advantage within the industry. He has consistently delivered results for private fleets, including some of the largest national retailers.
Davis has consistently proven himself by earning Top Salesman every year.
In his previous role as Senior Vice President of National Accounts, he managed top-tier client relationships, helping private fleets reduce costs, improve safety, and modernize operations. His implementations generated savings equal to 25% of the client's monthly lease obligations.
