Auto sales exec drives into new leadership role

TAMPA - Eddie Gomez, no stranger to Chevrolet cars and trucks, has taken the wheel at Gordon Chevrolet in Tampa as equity partner and general manager.

Gomez, a lifelong Tampa resident, spent the past 34 years of his career at Ferman Chevrolet in Brandon, where he served as general manager.

“The challenge and opportunity to build something great at Gordon Chevrolet was too exciting to pass up,” Gomez says in a press release. "I want to express my sincere appreciation to Jim Ferman and his organization for their many years of friendship and support.”

Gordon Chevrolet, located at 16414 N. Dale Mabry Highway in Tampa, is part of the Stewart Management Group, headquartered in Detroit. The management company includes four auto dealerships in Florida, Alabama and Michigan.

"Eddie Gomez is the perfect equity partner for us in Tampa," says Stewart Management Group CEO Gordon Stewart in a press release. "He's a true gentleman, a proven winner and extremely well-connected in the community."

“I am excited to transform Gordon Chevrolet into an extraordinary dealership for our customers, employees and the communities we serve,” Gomez added.
