Episode 61: YANG Chairman Matt Fowler on Making Aftermarket Connections

In this episode of DriveTime, Matt Fowler, Chairman of the Young Auto Care Network (YANG) and Account Executive at Ubisense, discusses his background in digital assets and then delves into his sales role at Ubisense, which uncovers hidden process data via its tracking technology to boost company productivity.

Fowler says the most interesting, coolest thing about the aftermarket is that it is a very familial type of space. “It is the only industry I’ve worked in… the only space where everyone really is just trying to work well and work together to make everything better.”

Fowler became chair of YANG in July, 2024, which now numbers over 1,600 active members. He describes his role and vision for the organization which involves working with council members to grow these key YANG pillars: networking events, digital engagements, education, sponsorships and scholarships. He also discusses the group’s main programming events: Connect Week, May 12-15, in Phoenix; Fall Leadership Days and the Legislative Summit, Sept. 17-19, in Washington DC; and the AAPEX Show, Nov. 4-6, in Vegas.
