Jerry Lacour Joins RoadVantage as Partner and Board Member
Austin, Texas – Jerry Lacour joined RoadVantage as an equity partner and member of the
Board of Directors. With nearly 50 years in the car business, he joins RoadVantage with his son, Garret Lacour, who founded the business two years ago. RoadVantage currently has a full offering of best of breed products, fully insured and installing with select agents in the national market.
"Part of what we've seen missing in the industry is the personal attention and service that only private ownership can bring to agents, dealers and customers. We want to bring back the enthusiasm that F&I departments thrive on, to assure that everyone benefits," said Jerry Lacour. "RoadVantage is poised for exponential growth and I'm energized by the opportunity."
“My father is the king of great ideas. Itʼs great to be working together again in growing a business” said Garret Lacour. “In two years our team has set to work to rethink and engineer every part of our business to drive value. Jerry will add and deepen the experience of our team and provide seasoned guidance, as we scale into the marketplace.”
