MEKO’s Nomination Committee proposes Dominick Zarcone as new Chairman of the Board

Dominick Zarcone possesses extensive expertise in the independent auto aftermarket and has held key leadership positions at LKQ Corporation since 2015, including his current role as President and CEO, with his term set to end on June 30, 2024. Prior to his CEO appointment in 2017, he was LKQ’s Executive Vice President and CFO. He currently serves as a director of LKQ and will also be included on the slate of directors nominated for election at LKQ’s annual meeting in May 2024. Additionally, Mr. Zarcone has a strong financial leadership background as the former Managing Director and CFO of Baird Financial Group and Chief Operating Officer of the Investment Banking Group at Robert W. Baird & Co. He earned his MBA from the University of Chicago.

“I am honored and excited to be nominated as the Board Chair of MEKO, a company with a great history and strong market positions. As I am leaving my operational engagement as CEO of LKQ in June of 2024, this will afford me the time needed to focus on MEKO. If I am elected, I look forward to working with the management team and the rest of the board to create a balanced operational excellence program focused on organic revenue growth, enhanced margins, and improved returns on capital,” stated Dominick Zarcone, President and Chief Executive Officer of LKQ Corporation.

The Nomination Committee's proposal for the full Board will be published at the latest in conjunction with the notice of the 2024 Annual General Meeting, which will be held in Stockholm on May 16, 2024, at 10:00.
