Spotless Brands names new CEO

OAKBROOK TERRACE - Spotless Brands, a leading car wash platform in the United States, has appointed retail executive John Standley as its new CEO to accelerate the company's growth and cement its position as the leading operator in every market served.

Standley succeeds Russ Reynolds, who will serve as an operating adviser to the company and a member of the board of directors.

Standley brings more than 30 years of service organization experience to Spotless Brands. He previously served as the executive vice president of Walgreens Boots Alliance and president of Walgreens, where he led the $100 billion U.S. retail pharmacy segment, including all aspects of the Walgreens drugstore and specialty pharmacy businesses.
