― Finn inducted into aftermarketNews' 2024 Class of Women at the Wheel ―

Leading automotive industry magazine, aftermarketNews, has named DENSO's National Account Sales Manager Judy Finn to its 2024 Class of Women at the Wheel. Each year, the business-to-business trade magazine recognizes women whose leadership, business acumen and innovation have strengthened the automotive aftermarket.

"AMN's Women at the Wheel award is a tremendous honor," said Finn, who manages a national sales team dedicated to getting DENSO customers the aftermarket auto parts and services they need for their businesses to succeed. "I want to congratulate all the inductees and thank my DENSO family for their support."

AMN dedicates the May issue of its monthly magazine to celebrating women who have been trailblazers in the automotive aftermarket. The magazine launched the Women at the Wheel awards in 2020 to spotlight female professionals who serve as role models to other women join the ranks of an industry historically dominated by men. Honorees range from managers to mechanics and include women running their own companies.

Finn got an early start in the industry as a teenager working in the parts department of her stepfather's auto dealership. After earning her Bachelor of Science in International Business at the University of Colorado at Boulder, Finn completed American Honda's national trainee program and joined its customer service team. She went on to Howard Engineering Corp. where she was part of the firm's national sales force for nine years.

In 2001, Finn brought her extensive experience to DENSO Products and Services Americas, Inc., where her many roles have included project manager, coman sales and national accounts manager. In September, she will celebrate 23 years with the Long Beach-based affiliate of the global mobility supplier.
